OptiPhos JBS United, Inc
OptiPhos is a new phytase product developed and offered for sale by JBS United, Inc. OptiPhos releases two times as much phosphorus from feed grain in pigs than competitive phytase products. This results in an enhanced diet for the pig, as inorganic phosphorus is replaced with energy from corn and/or soybeans. In addition, OptiPhos benefits the environment by significantly reducing phosphorus levels in manure. A study conducted with The Maschhoffs, Inc., released in March 2006, showed phosphorus excretion in manure was reduced by 45% when using OptiPhos.

AGRO - JET Medical International Technologies
Jet Injection is a state of the art, safe, fast, reliable, accurate and simple way to inject medicine. The injected medication disperses in a mist or spray effect as it enters the dermal, subcutaneous or the intramuscular tissue. The minute fluid particles of medication are then in close contact with the absorbent tissue. The rate of absorption increases as the surface area to which the medication is exposed increases. The small penetration point results in reduced trauma to the site.

BinTrac Novonix Corporation
The BinTrac monitor from Novonix Corporation uses a direct-contact sensing technology for continuous bin-level measurement. It uses three or more sensor cables to register the depth of feed in the bin. The signals from all sensor cables are averaged to minimize errors from voids within the feed. The feed level is then computed and displayed on the monitor's LED bar graph. The BinTrac system is not affected by dust, temperature changes, ice or feed density. The monitor can track up to four bins at one time.
