8 WHAT IS ATOVI TECHNOLOGY? ATOVI energizes the mitochondria inside of ALL cells that make up a living organism, be it a single-cell microorganism, plant, animal (land or aquatic), even human beings, all living things. The mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cells, similar to the battery of a car. When the mitochondria fail the cells cannot perform their specific tasks or functions. When that occurs various physiological problems arise.

9 WHAT IS ATOVI TECHNOLOGY? Over time and due to toxins, stress, disease, and other factors, the mitochondria deteriorate and ultimately die along with the cells. It is impossible to manufacture the mitochondria to replace the old dead ones. Let alone the physical way of removing the old ones and replacing them with the newly made mitochondria. The key, therefore, is how to re-energize energize these mitochondria. One needs to find out the exact amount of micro-potential energy to kick start the mitochondria plus the method of delivery to the mitochondria. This is where nanotechnology comes in.

10 WHAT IS ATOVI TECHNOLOGY? Through ATOVI technology we have developed a way to deliver the required micro potential energy needed to kick-start the mitochondria in all the cells in the whole body simultaneously, constantly and continuously energizing them. Atovi is micro potential energy which energizes the mitochondria to run the ATP pump which runs the Krebs cycle. By constantly and continuously energizing the mitochondria, all the cells in all organs and tissues perform their specific tasks or functions at first properly and ultimately efficiently.

11 BENEFITS IN USING ATOVI TECHNOLOGY IMPROVE PRODUCTIVITY 1. INCREASE YIELD BY AT LEAST 25% 2. NO ADDITIONAL CAPITAL OUTLAY 3. REDUCE MORTALITY

12

13 ATOVI BENEFITS IN USING ATOVI TECHNOLOGY REDUCTION IN OPERATING EXPENSES 1. DECREASE FEED CONSUMPTION BY AT LEAST 15% 2. RATIONALIZE NUTRITION, MEDICATION, SANITATION & ENVIRONMENT CONTROL PROGRAMS 3. LOWER LABOR & UTILITY EXPENSES

14

15 BENEFITS IN USING ATOVI TECHNOLOGY SUPERIOR & ORGANIC FARM PRODUCE 1. MEATS, EGGS, MILK, FRUITS, CEREALS & VEGETABLES THE WAY THEY USED TO TASTE 2. SAFER, HEALTHIER, FREE OF ANTIBIOTICS & CHEMICAL RESIDUES 3. LESS CHOLESTEROL 4. LEANER, TASTIER & SUCCULENT LASANG NATIVE 5. WALANG LANSA

16

17

18 BENEFITS IN USING ATOVI TECHNOLOGY ECO-FRIENDLY THROUGH ZERO-WASTE MANAGEMENT 1. MINIMAL ODOR (GREENHOUSE GASES) 2. LESSER VOLUME OF MANURES 3. MANURE DO NOT ATTRACT FLIES AND PATHOGENS 4. HARMONIOUS RELATIONSHIP W/ NEIGHBORS AND HOST COMMUNITY 5. ZERO WASTE MANURES & EFFLUENTS CAN BE USED AS ORGANIC FERTILIZERS 6. AVOID COSTLY BIO-DIGESTERS, WASTE TREATMENT FACILITIES, DISINFECTANTS AND DEODORIZERS

19

20 BENEFITS IN USING ATOVI TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION OF ANIMAL RAISING, CROP FARMING & AQUACULTURE
