6. Nature Creates – We Refine A naturally occurring product from coniferous forests which is extracted as a by-product of the pulp manufacturing industry. The final refined product contains modified tall oil fatty acids and standardized amount of resin acids. We have develop this by-product into a specific concentration of resin acids and tall oil fatty acids which have never before been used in animal feeds Potential – To improve efficiency of meat production systems – To reduce reliance on antibiotics Patent protected product and applications.

7. Nature Creates – We Refine Market Need Global meat production will need to double by 2050 to cater for a rising population (FAO). Need for improved feed efficiency and environmental sustainability As production systems intensify, so does the pressure from pathogenic bacteria. Reliance on antibiotic solutions is unsustainable. Demand for effective natural solutions. The global feed additive market for natural additives is currently €3bn and rising. The need of antibiotic free meat production is consumer driven. “Antimicrobial resistance is one of our most serious health threats” The Lancet 2013 “ Half of the raw chicken meat carried antibiotic-resistant “superbug” bacteria in USA” Reuters 19.12.2013

8. Nature Creates – We Refine Rosin, containing resin acids, has been used in traditional medicine in Finland for centuries The antimicrobial and antiprotozoal effects of resin acids are proven by scientific trials (Ali et al. 2012, Sipponen A. 2013) We are the first to develop the resin acids into a form that optimizes their efficacy in animal feeding (patents) 1.

9. Nature Creates – We Refine 2 Active: ProgRes supports the health and productivity of animals In trials Progres has: Prevented the growth of pathogenic Gram + bacteria –Such as clostridium perfringens and streptococcus suis Reduced the development of necrotis enteritis Modified the composition of intestinal microflora to beneficial direction Lead to decreased mortality, better health and growth performance in broilers and turkeys

10. Nature Creates – We Refine The effect of ProgRes on the growth of different pathogenic Gram+ bacteria (Alimetrics 2014)
