Starboard Bio - developing & producing innovative products

Starboard Bio Limited aim to produce and supply the finest animal sourced pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, life science and cosmetic ingredients in the world.

We aspire to develop and produce innovative product ingredients that improve lives around the world.

To do this we need to start off with the best possible animals raised in the purest environment. Our donor animals have been raised in New Zealand free range farming conditions with year-round access to grass.

A natural grass diet is healthier for the animals and this produces a better end product for us. Our donor and source animals are raised without genetically engineered feed, hormones or growth stimulants.

These animals are processed in state-of-the-art facilities within New Zealand to the highest food safety standards.
