What Basic Farm does

Basic Farm (legal name: Laboratorio Veterinario Basic Farm) is a privately held veterinary pharmaceutical laboratory headquartered in Medellín, Colombia, with a wholly operated subsidiary in Quito, Ecuador. The company manufactures and distributes a diversified animal-health portfolio organized across seven product lines: Mascotas (companion animals), Equina (horses), Avícola (poultry), Porcícola (swine), Inocuidad de Alimentos (food safety), Bioseguridad (biosecurity), and Agrícola (agricultural). Core SKUs include probiotic supplements (Probiocat, Probiodog, Basic Probiotics Farm), dental and oral-care products (Denty Farm, Dentyto), biodegradable shampoos and hygiene wipes (Basic Pet Champú, Baxidin Champú, Orenda Paw, Basic Din Toallitas), antiseptic solutions (Baxidin Solución Antiséptica), and biosecurity chemicals (Canatox NF, Basiclean, Virukill). The company holds Good Manufacturing Practices (Buenas Prácticas de Manufactura) certifications for its pet product lines, which underpin its positioning with veterinary professionals and enterprise food customers.

The business operates a dual go-to-market: enterprise agrifood and livestock customers (e.g., Grupo Nutresa, Alpina, Nacional de Chocolates, Alimentos Polar, Bucanero Pollos, Avícola El Madroño, Agrocampo, Servicampo) are served through direct WhatsApp, phone, and email sales channels, complemented by food-safety management-system consulting (BPM, HACCP, ISO 22000) delivered through the Inocuidad line. The companion-animal business reaches pet owners through veterinary clinic placement and country-specific WhatsApp and e-commerce-style catalogs, supported by an active content marketing program (Blog, Expertos Basic Farm, Casos Clínicos) and country-segmented social media presence on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and LinkedIn for both Colombia and Ecuador. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time product sales across veterinary pharmaceuticals and biosecurity solutions, with a professional services overlay from food-safety consulting. No public revenue, headcount, funding, or management-team data is disclosed in the available sources.
