“We provide safe and clean pig meat.”

Mr. Wu, Jonghun, the owner of Uil Farm, is enthusiastic in producing safe and high quality pig meat for the customers general who want to have safe food.

300 sows are being bred in Uil farm. The farm has 25 acres farmland, and total seven pigpens. Each one of them is for the pregnant pigs, for the pigs in parturition, and for piglets, and four for the growing-finishing pigs on the one acre wide building. Equipped with winch curtain, the biggest pride and joy of Uil farm is its safe and clean pig meat without the use of antibiotics.

“This pride of Uil farm comes from ‘Biotite V’”. Succeeding to his father’s twenty years old swine farm business, Mr. Wu says that recently, working for the swine farm industry really satisfies him.

“Because of healthy pigs with the production cost going down, we can get through any tough recession without any difficulty.”

Uil farm uses OEM feed, and after Biotite V addition, they say that US $4,166 of production cost could be saved every month. Especially, the US $2,500 of medicine cost like vaccine went down to less than US $1,600. Furthermore, the pigs, growing healthy without diseases, enable the farm to save up a lot of works of farm hands.

The efficacy of Biotite V, launched by Seobong BioBestech Co. Ltd., could be seen in Uil farm.

Mr. Wu says, “We have never used antibiotics since the addition of Biotite V in feed. I feel really good, because pig grade went up and pigs grew up healthy without antibiotics.” As antibiotics replacement, made of natural mineral substances, Biotite V is powdered feed additive that could be mixed well in any kind of feed. Biotite V has already been proved to be effective in improving feed efficiency and meat quality.

Biotite V has been evaluated as antibiotics substitute, for its remarkable efficacy in enhancing immune system.

According to the trial results of Biotite V addition, IgG increased 86.6% and the mortality rate decreased by 90%. And Biotite V decreased diarrhea and dead pigs, prevented respiratory disease, improved nutrient utilization, enhanced weight gain and dressing rate, and improved feed efficiency. Those are the proved effects that enable livestock farms to make handsome profits.

Mr. Wu first saw Biotite V last November 2002.

Mr. Wu tells that one of the farm owners in the neighborhood recommended Biotite V.  

“At first, I thought Biotite V probably had similar effects like the other products in the market. However, while using Biotite V without much of expectation, pig performance improvement and environment friendly effects could be found in the meantime.”

Uil farm also gets very good pig grade compare to other swine farms. Last Jan 14, 2003, more than 90% of pigs graded A. Among the total 43 pigs for the market, 39 pigs were A. He says, “Our pigs graded much higher after Biotite V addition. This resulted in much more profits. Furthermore, Biotite V is effective in improving the environment of pigpens.”

The first seen effect was reduced ammonia gas.

Because of the smell of ammonia gas in the pigpen, most farm owners in Korea suffer from the continuous complaints from the neighborhood. However, according to Mr. Wu, Biotite V addition in feed reduced ammonia gas, and, consequently, solved years-long ammonia gas problem.

With the help of Biotite V, he didn’t need to use smell remover, and the complaints from the neighborhood considerably decreased.

Since Biotite V addition, he could not see sick and dead pigs.

“Before Biotite V inclusion, I had frequently seen sick and dead pigs, but Biotite V prevented the appearance of sick and dead pigs. That must be resulted from the improved immune system of the animal body after Biotite V addition.”

Mr. Wu says that he could meet the current customer’s needs to eat safe foods with his antibiotics free and high quality pig meat.

“Biotite V shortened the growing period of pigs by 2 ~ 3 days, and pigs got less stressed and recovered very quickly from diseases,” Mr. Wu delivers.

The advice of Mr. Wu to other farm owners, who want to produce high profits, is that short term Biotite V cost brings big money. Great profits come gradually from little more care and concern for the business.
