2 Provita s constant innovation will ensure further advances in the development of animal health products, which improve animal welfare and performance naturally.

3 Our Company Through research, development and the supply of innovative animal health products, Provita seek to offer the best possible natural animal health solutions for the improvement of welfare, health and performance of animals throughout the world. PURPOSE-BUILT LICENCED FACILITY Provita Eurotech Ltd is a privately owned company engaged in development, manufacturing and marketing of natural animal health products. Our 20,000 square feet factory was purpose-built for the manufacture of animal health products and is the only GMP licenced facility for the production of veterinary probiotic medicinal products in Europe. It also registered to current E.U feed legislations (NI/518 ALPHA) and consequently can uniquely produce both medicinal and feed probiotics as well as other veterinary medicines and nutritionals including pastes, liquids, powders, creams and gels, oral solutions and capsules. RESEARCH LED PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT The company has extensive Research & Development capability with significant university collaborative projects which have allowed it to develop a range of products specific to cattle, sheep, pigs, poultry, horses and small animals. These products all play a role in the maintenance of good health and improving animal performance naturally. The Provita range of products fall into the following categories: medicinal probiotics, feed probiotics, feed supplements, colostrum products, electrolytes, air purifiers and hoof care products, feed additives and mint gels. 1

4 A Natural Approach A commitment to the sourcing of the highest quality natural ingredients offers a reassurance and quality that is evident in our customer testimonials. PRIORITISING ANIMAL WELFARE With growing concerns about the continued over-use of antibiotics in both the treatment of animal illnesses and their inclusion in animal feeds serious questions are now being asked about modern methods of animal production. DELIVERING A NATURAL APPROACH Vets, farmers and consumers are demanding alternatives that ensure food is produced efficiently and effectively. But they also want to maintain animal welfare and see that food is produced as naturally as possible. It is this demand for safe food production that has seen the growth in organic food sales over recent years. Provita is helping to make the achievement of consumer demands possible by developing products that enable a more natural approach to animal production. Many of our key products benefit from Provita s insistence on only the highest quality naturally sourced ingredients. We firmly believe that the use of Provita lamb colostrum, when combined with excellent hygiene and careful management, is critical to a successful lambing season.

CONTINUING INHOUSE DEVELOPMENT Provita gives a high priority to Research and Development and has an ongoing programme which includes projects to improve existing products in addition to new product development. Highly trained technical staff work on site and in collaboration with specialist advisors and outside laboratories. DEVELOPMENT THROUGH CONSULTATION The Research and Development Department conducts surveys and works in conjunction with the marketing team and industry and academic expertise to ensure that the products developed meet with the end user s requirements. New products are thoroughly tested prior to launching to guarantee quality, efficacy, safety and ease of application to the user. Each calf receives Protect as soon as it is born. Experience with the product has confirmed that it significantly reduces the incidence of scours and in the event of any calf coming down with the problem, we have found that it is much easier cured. I would heartily recommend the use its use to any herd owner. Francis Connan, Ballymena, Co. Antrim 3
