ON SOLID FOUNDATIONS
11
The Bábolna Pharmaceuticals Manufacturing Plant of Phylaxia Pharmaceuticals Co. Ltd. founded in 1912 has major traditions in the profession. Alpha-Vet started its veterinary pharmaceuticals manufacturing activity by purchasing the assets of that renowned company in 2008. Alpha-Vet completely renewed and expanded the Bábolna plant and fitted it up with cuttingedge, ‘high-tech’ manufacturing equipment. Improvement of the manufacturing conditions made it possible to continue product development and to further improve the quality of the existing product portfolio. The plant has EU GMP certification, and is now manufacturing veterinary medicinal products for 18 member states of the European Union and further 7 European countries outside the EU. The veterinary pharmaceuticals portfolio of Alpha-Vet is made up by products for which there is the greatest demand: in addition to antibiotics and anthelmintics for farm animals, the company manufactures own-developed original products unique in the world for treating skin infections and otitis externa in dogs. By reconstruction, the plant was made suitable for manufacturing premixes, powder mixtures, pelleted products, oral suspensions/solutions and tablets. The manufacturing capacity of the plant for all types of products is multiple times higher than the Hungarian demand, which ensures the secure supply of products for the export markets and a substantial free capacity for contract manufacturing activity. Parallel to the development of our manufacturing activity, our research directorate is continuously upgrading our owndeveloped products portfolio in co-operation with numerous high-ranking European research institutes and universities as partners.

FOCUS ON THE NATURAL INGREDIENTS – FEED ADDITIVES
14
Alpha-Vet pays particular attention to supplying livestock farmers and plant growers with products consisting of natural ingredients that meet the requirements of organic farming. Feed additives are manufactured in the own premix and feed additive manufacturing plant of the company. Alpha-Vet has abundant experience in the development and distribution of products based on humic acid. More than 50% of the dairy farms in Hungary use such organic products containing humic acid to replace antibiotics and improve performance.
The benefits of products containing humic acid and the satisfaction of customers with these products are clearly shown by the Grand Prize for Animal Breeding, awarded to Alpha-Vet for these products on two occasions at the National Agriculture and Food Exhibition and Fair.

The products containing humic acid support the health and increase the performance of animals by improving digestion, binding toxins and strengthening the immune system. They are available in different forms: as a powder to be mixed in the feed, a suspension and a solution to be administered with the drinking water. In addition to products based on humic acid, the same plant manufactures a whole range of products containing vitamins, amino acids, minerals, and trace elements. The solutions containing combinations, developed by Phylaxia and to be administered via the drinking water are useful for farm and companion animals suffering from different deficiency syndromes: they are beneficial in cases of vitamin and mineral deficiency, for amino acid supplementation, in periods of heat stress, and against different metabolic disturbances. The third own factory of Alpha-Vet manufactures nutrient solutions and conditioning products for plants. These products contain minerals, trace elements, amino acids and humic acids corresponding to the requirements of modern organic farming. With these own-developed products our aim is to meet the demands of chemical-free plant cultivation. Our nutrient supplement products for plants contain only natural ingredients and have ecological certification. By their use the expected crop yields can be increased in many cases. The products manufactured in the new manufacturing plant of Alpha-Vet are foliar feeds stimulating the own defence system of plants and do not qualify as pesticides in the classical sense of the word. These products developed and manufactured in order to support sustainable and intensive plant cultivation are economical, environment-friendly and beneficial also under extreme weather conditions. Crop farmers can also make good use of the soil-conditioning products acting on the rooting zone of plants.

WE ARE SATISFIED WITH THE VERY BEST ONLY!
19
Alpha-Vet has decades-long experience in the distribution of pet foods of outstanding quality. Relying on that experience, in 2016 the company started the development of its own branded product portfolio under the name HAPPY&FIT. Now the entire product range has 47 SKUs from premium and superpremium dry foods through canned foods to treats, and this is only the beginning! The most important feature of the HAPPY&FIT product range is the GERMAN QUALITY – as all dry and canned foods of this range are produced by German manufacturers who work according to extremely high quality control standards. The demand for unique protein containing, hypoallergenic and gluten-free products has increased substantially – this is why we have developed products that have HYPOALLERGENIC certification. We can supply our customers and their pets with products consisting of INGREDIENTS OF EXCELLENT QUALITY. When developing the formulas, it was an important criterion to complement the list of ingredients with such proteins of animal origin, herbs, vegetable and fruits that can help ensure the welfare of our pets. The canned products contain such superfood ingredients like safflower oil, Aloe vera, winter squash, and mango.
Always in motion, always happy.
