Two Bulacan Broiler Raisers Reveal Secret of Their Success
Two broiler raisers in Sta. Maria, Bulacan have revealed that the use of a locally formulated growth promoter has spelled their success in broiler raising. Both of them have stopped using foreign formulations that they were using earlier.

Their observations have been confirmed by the broiler production expert of the Central Luzon State University (CLSU), Dr. Edgar Orden who, as manager of the university’s broiler production for a long time already, is also using the same growth promoter.

They are Herminio Mateo and Deogracias “Bodie” Mendoza Jr., 57 and 52 years old, respectively. Besides raising broilers in their farms, they are also engaged in contract growing. They provide opportunities to small raisers without sufficient capital to raise broilers and earn some income by giving them chicks, feeds, medicine and Biolyte, a growth promoter manufactured by Novatech Vet and Biologicals Corporation, a sister corporation of Novatech AgriFoods Industries.

HERMINIO MATEO
Herminio is a graduate of agriculture major in animal science from the former G. Araneta University Foundation. After his graduation, he taught a subject on poultry and swine production in a Bulacan high school in 1976 - 1978. Then he became a bus conductor and later a feeds salesman.

He hopped from one agri-business venture to another until he stumbled on broiler and poultry contract growing.

Together with 25 business partners, he established in 1980 a small feedmilling company but this got bankrupt in 1981. Undaunted, he tried to produce animal feeds on his own but the venture also got bankrupt after a year. He tried to recover from his losses by producing fish meal, which was needed by animal feeds manufacturers.

“As long as I could earn something, I got into it and tried hard to persevere,” Herminio said.

However, his income seemed not enough for his growing family and so he decided to work as a salesman of Super Gain Feeds in 1987. His income for seven years enabled him to construct his house and provided him opportunities to meet prospective business partners.

Thus, the Tri-Star Feeds was established in 1994 with an industrial partner who provided the capital of P100,000. Herminio only had his experience in feedmilling as his input in the company. For 10 years, the company was doing well until it folded in 2004.

Even before Tri-Star Feeds dissolved, however, he was already planning to engage in feedmilling on his own. So when Tri-Star Feeds closed, he immediately established Haribon Feeds as a single proprietorship. His share of P5 million from Tri-Star Feeds has kept him in the feedmilling business, but only to get engaged later in contract growing.

This time he no longer produces commercial quantities that are distributed to dealers who pay him after some time. Instead, the feeds are given to small-scale poultry and swine contract growers whom he also provides with chicks and piglets, respectively, medicine, and Biolyte. With 40 broiler and 10 swine contract growers, Herminio produces only 4,000 bags of feeds every month.

“Instead of giving the feeds to dealers on credit, I get the payment for the feeds immediately after harvest since the broilers are brought to me for marketing,” he said. “Thus, even if a grower loses in one growing cycle, I can still recover some payment for the chicks, feeds, medicine, and Biolyte,” Herminio said.

Unlike the current practice of others engaged in contract growing, Herminio’s contract growers do not have any collateral and do not share in the losses. He gives 500-2,000 class B chicks to the contract growers per cycle, depending on their ability to take care of the birds. Actually, these chicks are what remain after the class A chicks have been separated. Herminio said almost 20.000 chicks are given to his contract growers every growing cycle.

THE SECRET IS BIOLYTE
Herminio is proud to say that although he uses class B chicks, the birds weigh 1.8 kg-1.9 kg on the average in 38 days. The feed consumption is only 1.5 bags per 100 birds.

The secret for the fast growth of the birds, he said, is Biolyte, which he mixes with the drinking water for the birds. One teaspoon of Biolyte is mixed with 1 gallon of drinking water. For every 100 birds, 1 liter is taken from this stock solution and mixed with their drinking water.

Even during summer, the birds are not affected by heat stroke because of Biolyte, he said. He stressed that Biolyte is very effective in counteracting heat stress and other forms of stress as well as in improving feed conversion efficiency.

Novatech President and CEO Dr. Rene Sumaoang, a Berlin-trained industrial microbiologist, explains that animals during stress tend to eat less and their digestion and assimilation efficiencies decrease. As a result, growth rates are affected.

Dr. Sumaoang points out that Biolyte counteracts the effects of stress by stimulating the appetite of the animals and assist them in digesting their food with the aid of digestive enzymes. Stress could be caused by unfavorable environmental conditions like hot, humid and sudden fluctuations of weather conditions as well as wet and cold seasons when respiratory diseases are prevalent. The feed conversion efficiency of birds given Biolyte is 6 percent-12 percent higher than those deprived of the growth promoter.

At the same time, Biolyte promotes growth and vitality. With Biolyte in their drinking water, the birds grow faster and take less time to reach a target weight and, hence, the grower saves money, time and energy.

Moreover, Biolyte provides greater resistance to diseases and reduces mortality rate. Studies have shown that birds provided with Biolyte have had greater resistance to respiratory infections and secondary infections caused by E. coli. As a result, the birds have uniform size and are generally superior in appearance.

Dr. Sumaoang points out that although Biolyte is neither an antibiotic nor a medicine and, hence, does not treat any disease, it makes animals resistant to diseases and could also enhance the recovery of convalescing animals.

He added that the provision of Biolyte to layers is also beneficial, as the egg productivity of the birds increases by 8 percent-12 percent. The size of their egg and quality of their shell are also superior. Breeders likewise lay eggs with higher hatchability as well as better size and shell even during molting. Moreover, Biolyte shortens the molting period of layers and breeders.

BODIE MENDOZA JR. AND CLSU
Bodie’s observations are exactly the same as those of Herminio and Dr. Sumaoang. He has been using Biolyte for quite a long time already.

“Biolyte is one of only two local products that I am using in broiler production,” Bodie stressed. “For several years now, I replaced a foreign premix liquid vitamin-mineral formulation with Biolyte because the [formulation] failed to meet my expectations,” Bodie said.

For him, water treated with Biolyte is continuously given to his birds from Day 1 to harvest. He mixes 1 ml of Biolyte with every gallon of drinking water. He also adds Nutradec, a multi-vitamin product of Novatech, to the drinking water, which is given every day until harvest.

“As a result, the birds have a strong resistance against stress and diseases. Mortality, especially during the first 10 days, is low. At the same time, the birds grow faster and heavier,” he said.

He does not manufacture poultry feeds, but he has more birds than Herminio under the care of broiler contract growers. At the same time, he produces 30,000 birds per cycle. Loading of chicks by his contract growers is done weekly on a staggered basis and, hence, harvesting is also done weekly. Every contract grower reloads his poultry house two weeks after harvesting. Like Herminio, Bodie markets for the birds.

Both of them practice a 50-50 profit sharing with the contract growers.

In the Science City of Munoz, Nueva Ecija, broiler raisers are wondering why the CLSU broiler project of Dr. Edgar Orden is harvesting an average of 1.8 kg per bird at 34-35 days. The feed conversion ratio is also low at 1.88, which means that only 1.88 kg is consumed by the birds to produce a kilo of meat even during the rainy season when production is usually low.

Some personnel of San Miguel Corporation are also wondering why Dr. Orden’s production is high despite the wet season.

“I told them I have no secret except that I have been giving Biolyte to the birds every day until harvest,” Dr. Orden said.

Doc,what is biolyte?

I have heard of biolyte  but i am not certain about its exact category.

It falls under multivitamins, electrolytes, stimulant, etc...

In short it helps to promote growth like other vitamins, minerals etc like, afsillin, atovi, pecutrin, etc.

Biolyte Product Information       
Biolyte has the unique formulation of combining digestive enzymes, vitamins, amino acids, organic acids, electrolytes and herbal extracts to supply the animals with mixtures of metabolites and essential electrolytes to counteract dehydration.

Biolyte maintains electrolyte balance of the body fluid. The combination of amino acids, yeast and enzyme extracts present in Biolyte equips the animal to fight stress, physical fatigue and nutritional deficiency.

During stress, animals tend to eat less, while digestion and assimilation efficiencies decrease, hence growth rates are affected.  However with the use of Biolyte, the above conditions are counteracted by stimulating the appetite and assisting the animals to digest their food with the aid of digestive enzymes.

During heat stress, Biolyte will provide the essential electrolytes and minerals to prevent dehydration, including the necessary vitamins and amino acids that may be needed during the period of physiological imbalance. The presence of more vitamins, minerals, amino acids and biologically active growth factors could provide nutritional support which may become therapeutic when the presence of the above nutrients in the feed are limiting.

Composition
Vitamins: A, D, E, B1, B2, B6, B12
Digestive enzymes
Stimulant from herbal extracts
Amino acids: lysine, DL methionine
Electrolytes: sodium chloride, potassium phosphate, magnesium sulfate, manganese sulfate, calcium citrate, zinc sulfate, ferrous sulfate
Dextrose
Organic acids
Directions for Use
Poultry
Mix one (1) teasponn per gallon of drinking water. From this stock solution, give one (1) liter per hundred birds of growers and finishers.

Swine
