2 Early 99s THE GOLS The IntelliBond story It began as a research project in the early 99s, as scientists began a search optimize delivery of minerals to the bloodstream reduce net cost of supplementation minimize harmful reactions in the feed bag/bunk The Goal: create an all-new form of trace mineral one that would combine and deliver multiple best in class benefits Minimize harmful interactions with essential nutrients in the bag and in the bunk Optimize the delivery of trace minerals to the animal s bloodstream Reduce the net cost of effective trace mineral supplementation Skeptical? We were. nd so were the world s livestock producers and nutritionists. Until Laboratory work validated the concept. Multiple-species studies demonstrated the efficacy: increased bioavailability, improved gain and feed conversion and better health. Scientists reported their findings in various published papers. nd in 996, the U.S. FD recognized the approval of IntelliBond in all livestock. (European and other global approvals would follow.) The science had proved out. t the same time, chemists and engineers backed by the resources of a Fortune 5-sized parent company built the methods and systems required to ensure the cost-effective production of the highest-quality trace mineral forms. The standard was to produce a product that would meet or exceed the most stringent quality requirements anywhere in the world. The result? IntelliBond the world s fi rst patented trace mineral. nd with it, the goal of developing a series of technically advanced, cost-effective trace minerals to better support animal health and production had arrived. Today, nearly a quarter century after the search began, producers and nutrition professionals have made IntelliBond from the fastest growing brand of trace minerals in the dairy cattle industry. 995 THE INNOVTION World s st trace mineral used in animal nutrition. Smart bonds in a novel crystal matrix deliver the mineral when/where it s needed most Today THE # BRND The dairy cattle industry s fastest growing brand of trace minerals Did you know?

Unfortunately, forages and concentrates only provide about half of what s needed to meet the cow s optimum trace mineral requirement. While all are approved trace mineral forms, there are significant differences in their chemical structures, how they work in the animal and their respective cost. This allows IntelliBond to deliver a higher level of cost-effective results that is quickly supporting a switch by cattle producers. look at the facts: 6 How the three forms compare Do you know how the three forms of trace minerals compare? Today, there are three commercially available trace mineral forms approved to bridge this gap and to achieve optimal animal health and productivity.
