1 Using VIUSID Vet- Agro in integrated dairy farms

2 Integrated dairy farms Dairy production has interacting processes that include crop and pasture production, crop harvest, feed storage, grazing, feeding, and manure handling

3 Integrated dairy farms In very simple terms: Dairy cattle are ruminants Ruminants need vegetables to produce meat and milk

4 Integrated dairy farms What Catalysis can offer you?

5 What Catalysis can offers you? Two complementary products for dairy farming: + VIUSID Agro VIUSID Vet

6 What Catalysis can offers you? What s inside Catalysis products?

7 What s inside Catalysis products? NATURAL INGREDIENTS WITH SYNERGIC ACTIONS Immunomodulators: Arginine, Glycine, Glycyrrhizinic Acid, Calcium Pantothenate, Zinc. Antioxidants: Malic Acid, Ascorbic Acid. Antianemics: Folic Acid, Cyanocobalamin, Pyridoxine. Biocatalyser: Zinc and Calcium Pantothenate. Antivirals: Malic Acid and Glycyrrhizinic Acid.

8 What s inside Catalysis products? Our exclusive technology: MOLECULAR ACTIVATION Strengthened antioxidant capacity Increased biological activity Antiviral effect: viral replication blocked

9 What s VIUSID Agro? VIUSID Agro is compound of amino acids, vitamins and trace elements. VIUSID Agro works like as a natural bio regulator. It can be applied in all stages of plant growth. It helps strengthen antimicrobial substances that the plants naturally produce, which inhibit the growth of harmful microorganisms.

10 What s VIUSID Vet? VIUSID Vet is compound of antioxidants, amino acids, vitamins, trace elements and a extract from licorice root (Glycyrrhizin acid). Without any side effects, for its composition based on natural products.

11 Actions of VIUSID Agro: VIUSID Agro increases the productive yield of the crops

12 How to use VIUSID Agro? 1 litre of VIUSID Agro per litre of water by foliar application or fertirrigation. The best results have been obtained applying VIUSID Agro every ten days, on average, throughout the whole period of cultivation.

13 Actions of VIUSID Agro King grass OM-22, Pennisetum purpureum Batches treated with VIUSID Agro are 26% higher than controls UNISS Cuba, 2013

14 Actions of VIUSID Agro Brachairia cv. Mulato II Batches treated with VIUSID Agro show a covered area 15% bigger than controls UNISS Cuba, 2013

15 How to use VIUSID Agro? COST OF TREATMENT Dosage Consumption Needs VIUSID Agro 1 litre/5.000 litre of water in foliar application or fertirrigation Each culture can has different needs of irrigation depending environment and soil status. For a better effectiveness of the product, it is recommended to apply VIUSID Agro in the evening and in a mixture with a foliar fertilizer

16 Actions of VIUSID Vet: VIUSID Vet: Reduces neonatal mortality (30%) Improves health conditions of calves. Reduces endometritis (80%) Increases milk production (15%) Cows come into estrus sooner

17 How to use VIUSID Vet in dairy cattle? 100 ml of VIUSID Vet per cow a day 21 days before delivery and 14 days after birth of calves.

18 How to use VIUSID Vet in dairy cattle? COST OF TREATMENT Dosage Needs VIUSID Vet liquid 100 ml/cow during 36 days 3,6 litre /cow Increased production (average) 15% more milk Around 900 litres more 30 % less neonatal mortality: Reduced perinatal diseases: 1 calf more /cow 80% less antibiotics

19 How to use VIUSID Vet in dairy cattle? CALVES

20 How to use VIUSID Vet in dairy cattle? CALVES Dosage: < 2 month age: 2 g /day/calf mixed with milk > 4 months 2 g/day/calf mixed with feed Treatment: 35 days.

21 How to use VIUSID Vet in dairy cattle? CALVES Profits: Reduces neonatal mortality Improves health conditions of calves. Increases daily weigth gain (75%) Increases final weigth (10%)

22 How to use VIUSID Vet in dairy cattle? Dosage Needs CALVES COST OF TREATMENT VIUSID Vet POWDER 2 g/calf during 36 days 72 g /calf 1 Kg is enough to treat 14 calves Increased production (average) 10% more final weigth 75 % more daily weight gain

23 How to use VIUSID Vet in dairy cattle? CALVES

24 Profits to use VIUSID Agro + Vet Better crop yields (heigth of plants and covered area: more feed available) Better cow fertility (fewer complications and shorter reproductive cycle) Better calves viability (more birth alive, less diarrhea and respiratory diseases) Better health status (less endometritis and mastitis) More milk production

25 VIUSID Agro + Vet VIUSID Agro + VIUSID Vet: The best team to increases benefits in integrated dairy farms.
