Testimony

Bert Armbruster reports a saving of over 5 cents per head per day after deducting the cost of Orykta® during a test on 1000 head of cattle. These controlled test prove conclusively that 25-35% less fat passes through animal fed rations with trace minerals added.​ Bert Armbruster Farms Stanton, Nebraska

Feed saving of over 20% shown in the rations of a steer using 4 oz. per day of daily intake of Orykta®, compared to a control steer of the same breed, from the same herd, for the same number of days fed. The steer fed Orykta® in his ration had more daily gain than control steer.

Since using Orykta®, our soil nutrient levels have increased and there has been a decrease of toxicity of the Nitrogen levels, and Orykta® has allowed us to improve and maintain our EC, and C.E.C, without any toxicity buildup what so ever.

Harold Shreeve, Brighton Holstein Dairy, reported an increase in butter fat from 3.7 pounds per 100 to 3.75 pounds. Milk production increased from 42 pounds per cow per day to 38 pounds per day. These gains were the result of adding Orykta to their regular ration. Shreeve also reported that he has reduced his overall feeding of hay for the test animals 320 per day - an average of 6 pounds per head.

We selected 75 cows for insemination. 50 of them were fed with Orykta® and 25 were in the control group. In the Orykta® group, 45 were left with zeal in the same month (90%) with 100% pregnancy rate. In the control group 16 remained in heat and 14 became pregnant (64%). The cows that were fed Orykta® were all fertile, gained an extra 100 grams of weight daily, had better fur, and also eliminated the horrible smell of manure.

A dairy herd of 264 cows showed a gain of 8% after adding Orykta to their regular ration. Tests conducted by Pharmatox Laboratories, Ames, Iowa, and verified by County Agent, Staton, Nebraska. These controlled tests prove conclusively that 25%-30% less fat passes through animal fed rations with trace minerals added. (Tests were conducted on droppings of 4 separate herds).

Field men report cattle are being fed daily a 32% protein with trace minerals concentrate ration, balanced and manufactured by Farmers Union Marketing Association 20% with plain grains. Under D.H.I.A. tests have shown increased butter fat up to 6% after three weeks feeding, increased milk production, better animal health and a definite decrease in feed consumption has been confirmed. After feeding six to eight weeks, reports of better conception rate has ben reported by different dairymen. From the above reports, we feel the trace minerals with protein added is a definite step forward in a sound feeding program" -A.J. Schloo, GM Orykta® has increased our yields and increased our sugar content while allowing us to get a better price for our tonnage. I further certify that Orykta® is a source of essential nutrients and has allowed us to decrease our use of more expensive blended fertilizers. ​ There are no toxic properties or harmful microbes. We test our soils twice a year after using Orykta® since 2003, our soils have improved in nutrient levels, and I highly recommend the use of Orykta®.
