Our products containing humic acid is able to decrease forage use, improve general immune conditions and consolidate special toxic materials as well as positively affect a lot of physiological processes. The usefulness of the humic acidic products and the customers’ satisfaction is clearly expressed by the Animal Husbandry Prize received at the National Agricultural and Food Industry Exhibition of 2011.

Experience

Our Company is engaged in humic acid research for more than 15 years. Humic substances as natural biologically active polymer molecules are predestined as the "future" substances in the intensive agriculture. The basic raw material of our products is the globally unique high quality natural humic acid minerals (leonardite, peat) that is mined in Hungary. We use raw materials of exceptional quality to manufacture final products for animal breeding, for plants, for human health and for environmental protection.

We are producing raw materials, finished products

HUMUS IN NATURE

Humification

Humic substances are biological-chemical-geological decomposition products of plant origin. The largest part of the terrestrial biomass are composed of Humic Substances, which are the single most important source of continental biomass reformation. The beneficial effects of Humic Substances in Agricultural and Medical applications stem from their Humic Acid content.

Humification

The decomposition of the biomass of plant origin starts with a chemical-biological oxidation, during which the basic compounds of Humic Substances are formed from lignins, tannins, flavonoids, glycosides, etc. Other parts of the biomass, such as proteins, cellulose and other carbohydrates decompose. Later in the Humification process most molecules undergo a transformation, that results in the formation of a quinon-hydroxi-carboxyl structure, then a polymerization. Under extreme conditions, if the deposits become exposed to water and air, the so-called re-oxidized coals are formed, which are termed as peat or „leonardite”. Only certain types of peat or „leonardite” deposits are utilized as raw material sources of high quality humic-acid-based products.

Good quality peat deposits are relatively rare. And among those, the best quality is mined in Hungary.

We use raw materials of exceptional quality for our production purposes. The Hungarian origin peat and leonardite deposits are of the best quality materials in the world. After careful selection and thorough physical separation of the raw material, we manufacture products for ecological farming and companies that require high quality humic acids for their formulations. By using our propriety extraction methods, we also offer different grades of purified humic acid and fulvic acid products ranging from soil conditioners and mineral fodders to the environmental protection industry and human medicine.

Humic and fulvic acids are organic complex forming molecules of exceptional vital effects that facilitate the uptake of microelements. They help the power generative and protective capacity and play a major role in detoxication.

The „fourpowers” of humic acids – effective uptake, biological effect, detoxication, natural product – surpass the traditional complex formers.

THE HUMUS TECHNOLOGY

Our Humus Technology products exclusively contain natural raw materials, natural humic/fulvic acids, minerals and micro elements. They contain minerals and micronutrients in an organic humic acid complex form, so they are easily absorbed in the digestive tract of animals, thus promoting the digestibility of feed and a better specific feed consumption. Humic acids as

EFFECTS OF FEEDING VITAPOL TO FARM ANIMALS

CATTLE

Calves

General health state of calves is especially important. The strength of calves' immune system determines the resistance against illnesses and the intensity of development. The preventive and therapeutic application of our products solves the following problems:

1) age: 1-30 days after birth

2) reason: to prevent or treat diarrhea and to improve condition

3) product: Vitapol Suspension

4) dosage: 100 ml/calf/day mixed into the milk, or milk replacer

5) expected effect: Given as a prevention, no diarrhea during the suckling age occurs. Condition of the calves will be spectacularly better (compared to their previous condition or to control animals). It can provide solid constitution, which is the basis for future production. If you give it to an already sick animal, approx. in 10 days spectacular improvements in health status can be seen, diarrhea stops/moderates.

Cows 1.

1) age: starting 20 days before calving until the end of lactation (300 days)

2) reason: binding aflatoxin

3) product: Vitapol Pulvis

4) dosage: depending on the level of aflatoxin in milk

a. 0,05 µg Afla M1 (50 ppt) 100 g/cow/day

b. 0,1 µg Afla M1 (100 ppt) 150 g/cow/day

c. 0,15-0,2 µg Afla M1 (150-200 ppt) 200 g/cow/ day

5) expected effect: 5-10 days after application of Vitapol, aflatoxin disappears from the body, M1 level in the milk remains below the limit. It does not have any side effects like clay or silica toxin binders. As an alternative, beneficial effects of Vitapol can be seen on reproduction and feed conversion, whose rate can vary depending on farm conditions.

Cows 2.

1) age: any age

2) reason: individual or population level diarrhea

3) product: Vitapol Pulvis

4) dosage: for 3 days 300 g/cow/day, then for 14 days 100 g/cow/day

5) expected effect: diarrhea stops on the fourth-fifth day and milk production reactivates

Milking cows

To exploit the generic capabilities of milking cows we have to supply the necessary energy, protein and fibers in necessary ratios. It is especially important to supply the appropriate amount of minerals, micronutrients and vitamins.

The general health state determines quality and quantity of milk so the high level of immune system has economical interest. Preventive application of our products ensures good quality milk with less medicine use.

EFFECTS OF FEEDING VITAPOL TO FARM ANIMALS

PIGS

Piglets:

The health state of piglets is especially important. Piglets weaned with a strong immune system grow faster and avoidance of diseases can be achieved. It is important to emphasize the future demand for the solution of oral-iron supply of newborn piglets.

Piglets 1.

1) age: after farrowing from day 1 to day 15.

2) reason: immune strenghtening, diarrhea, anemia,

3) product: Vitapol Suspension

4) dosage: 100 ml/litter/day, on a tray

5) expected effect: intestinal flora and intestinal villous develop sooner, they get quickly used to solid feed. Therefore a better weight gain can be measured at weaning and in the nursery stage. In the suckling phase, there is a measurable additional weight gain of 10-15 g/day, afterwards in nursery about 1020 g/day. Diarrhea at this age can be prevented, that can also result in weight gain. Because of its high mineral content, Vitapol Suspension is also an excellent supplement to prevent anemia.

POULTRY

Layers/parent couples

During industrial egg production, mortality parameters can be improved by developing a strong immune system and by preventing illnesses of the digestive system. Application of our products improves economic parameters even in case of high efficiency systems. The result of healthy birds with a high level of production parameters are achieved by mixing Vitapol into the feed. Breeding stocks and parents need special feed, due to the fast growing and large weight which are not the most important parameters. Moreover, the application of our products helps the development of a strong immune system to improve production parameters.

1) age: after 70 life weeks until slaughter. In case of moulting from the start of production to the end.

2) reason: After the last third of production and after moulting for improving eggshell quality, production intensity and feed utilization.

Piglets 2.

1) age: from weaning (21-30 days) until moving to fattening (90 days)

2) reason: to prevent diarrhea and to improve weight gain in the pre-fattening stage

3) product: Vitapol Pulvis

4) dosage: 0,8-1% (8-10 kg/t) from the prestarter and starter feed

5) expected effect: daily weight gain is 30-50 g/day higher in these 60 days. Diarrhea caused by weaning and feed change can be prevented or mitigated. (Depending on farm circumstances, drug costs can be saved.)

3) product: Vitapol Pulvis

4) dosage: 0,8-1% (8-10 kg/t) into the feed

5) expected effect: depending on farm conditions egg production and feed utilization improve mortality by 2-5% and the number of broken eggs reduces by 10-20%

Imrovement of immune system and productions parameters of breeding-stocks with vitapol®

GALLUS Ltd. Devecser, Hungary

We carried out our trial with COBB-500 chicken breeding stocks from Denmark. We analyzed the parameters of two experimental chicken-houses (15300 pullets and 2346 roosters) feed continuously with Vitapol and of two chickenhouses (18360 pullets and 2754 roosters) we used as control.

Both the control and the experimental groups got

the same basic feed (own excellent quality product controlled in our laboratory), and the same vaccines. Into the experimental group’s feed we mixed the Vitapol in 0,3%-calculated to the total feed-(from the 2nd week to the 21st week).

The experiment started at 25th of May, 2001 in Bakonypölöske, Hungary on the No. II and III. chicken farms of Gallus Ltd.
