JBS United Announces Launch of Key Communication Tool

New OptiPhos(R) Website Provides Customers with Key,
Up-to-Date Information on Global Scale

    SHERIDAN, Ind., Sept. 20 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- 

    Following the launch of OptiPhos, the most
technologically advanced phytase enzyme product available,
JBS United has announced the unveiling of a new website
aimed at providing up-to-date information for pig and
poultry producers worldwide. The new website is located at
www.optiphos.net.

    "The OptiPhos website provides livestock producers
throughout the world with research and product information
to help them improve animal nutrition, while at the same
time improving the environment by reducing the amount of
phosphorus that is released onto land," noted Mike
Shingler, Director of Marketing and Public Relations for
JBS United.

    OptiPhos helps pig and poultry producers better address
the challenges of managing diet quality, diet cost and
animal waste by further improving their animals'
utilization of phosphorous. Through the use of OptiPhos,
producers can substantially enhance their animals' diet by
better utilizing the phosphorus present in feed grain,
thereby reducing the use and expense of inorganic
phosphorus supplements.

    Extensive research conducted by JBS United in concert
with leading universities and large pig and poultry
producers has shown that OptiPhos releases nearly two times
more phosphorus from feed grain in pigs and three times more
in poultry than competitive phytase enzymes.

    OptiPhos also significantly reduces phosphorus levels
in manure and litter, which allows producers to better
manage the environmental impacts of using manure or litter
as a fertilizer. Reduced levels of phosphorous in animal
waste extends the number of years producers can apply
manure or litter to farmland, reduces the amount of land
required for safe manure/litter application and reduces the
overall risk of adverse environmental impacts.

    JBS United is currently marketing OptiPhos in the
United States, Asia, and Central and South America.
