Probiotics

Sometimes we are asked to try a product. Most times we just set it aside and forget about it.

We had been using another brand of probiotics for sometime, but packaging was a problem and we were looking for a new one that we may retail to people who don't have the time to do their own natural farming inputs.

We had been seeing the Novatech group in radio guestings, but maybe they were promoting more their Durabloom organic fertilizers, that I didn't zero in on their probiotics.

One Sunday, about 2months ago, one of their salesmen broadcasted some Biosec in our Sunshines' cage during that month's Agri Kapihan. The Biosec was supposed to erase odors in farm animals' pens. Well, I noticed that it did. I was there sitting by the cage, it was soiled, being there halfday already. Sniff sniff....no odor. I took a note of that in my mind to order for resale...but it hid behind my brain.

The sent me the brochures thru email, but it just sat on my deskstop to this day.

Recently, I knew and remembered I needed probiotics for the over the counter sales. Timely that the Novatech sales people were there again during Agri Kapihan and I remembered to order Biosec. Now I had the time to listen and they were able to introduce Biolyte (probiotics and vitamins), perfect for brooding.

I asked my staff in Santiago City to use it for the store's brooding. That store is our best gauge because of distance and the time of day that the truck gets there, carrying the Sunshines.

Verdict: very good and ok for resale to customers!



When we do a sampling, we only use one product so we can zero in on our assessment. I walk by the cages by 6pm when we close the store. No smell...and that was not using Biosec yet. It was just Biolyte. Letting the good bacteria eat the bad bacteria inside the Sunshines. Making the waste, odor free.

Suggested retail price is PHP150 for 120ml. Use 1ml per 1liter of water. Ask for it from your favorite poultry supply stores. You may use it for all your animals :)

  4. pangBROODING lang po ba ang biosec at biolyte o pwede rin hanggang harvest?

  5. @warlock, there is no need to use Selectrogen when using Biolyte. Use the probiotics from day1 til harvest.

  7. @warlock, you need to clean beddings, cages and surroundings. Naka range na ba sila? Ilan sila? Ano size ng cage? If you can email me pics, I can react better.

    But most importantly, CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN and if possible, transfer them ASAP.

    Matamlay ba sila?

Kung generic name nya po un, ano po mairerecomenda nyong brand?

  10. @warlock, Biolyte is a brand. Just ask for any probiotics sa stores. Or better yet, make your own fermented juices. Cheapest way :)

  11. Thanks sir, pwede pala ung gusto kong subukan noon na FFJ(fermented fruit juice) at FPJ(fermented plant juice) kasi po ginagamit ko rin yan sa pagcompost ng mga organic fertilizers, May pamplets po kasi ako ng NATURAL FARMING na binili ko BSU n ginawa ni prof Al Tianco ng Camp 1 Tuba Benguet.

    ReplyDelete
  14. @bobcent, what we sell are straight runs, dual purpose, day old chicks. In 6months, we will have the layer chicks :)

    ReplyDelete
  15. what do you mean, wala pa kayong available na layers ngayon? As of now nag prepair pa ko ng brood, maybe next wk ready na ako. Yang hen in 5-6 months ay mangitlog na sya is that right. Thanks.

    ReplyDelete
  16. @bobcent, what we have now are dual purpose, meaning they are raised for meat and table egg production. What we have now, available sometime March will be the strain known to be good layers.

  17. Sir,
    I live in Nueva Ecija,
    Is there any outlet for this probiotics (biolytes and biosec) near our place.
    This is a very good item for producing organic chickens.
    If there is none, can we order from you and send them thru LBC.

    Many thanks

  18. @ Mariano, none that I know of, but yes, we can send by LBC. That will make it expensive though. You may just email me for orders.

  21. Yes Evar :) We always tell people to make their own. Most just want to buy. That is a first step. Once they see the benefits, they step up and start making their own :)
