These >technologies have been designed for the elimination of various >aquacultural wastes. Fish and shellfish hatcheries and farms in the >seafood livestock industry have an extremely expansive future. >Controlling wastes and diseases with microbes and enzymes is the best way, > ecologically and economically, to farm fish in large quantities. The >aquacultural industry offers to our current product lines, and to our >future development of products, a huge and immediate sales market. This >fast-growing market with its rapid turnover will be the first focus of >our initial sales and marketing programs for these very evident and >compelling reasons. > > STATEMENT OF PURPOSE >ABCC's business strategy is to make available and to market microbial and >enzymic products and programs designed to clean-up organic wastes and >water, and to reduce associated diseases spearheaded by the >aquacultural industry. These products are grown under special laboratory >conditions for maximum density and productivity. The labs adhere to and >meet USDA standards. These products address a wide variety of ecological >uses for aquacultural, agricultural and commercial industries. Numerous >contaminated sites are the subject of Federal and State legislation >mandating and funding their clean-up. Clean water quality is essential in >aquaculture and it is the most promising area for a rapid return on >investment. These products and processes can be used in all areas of >wastewater management. >The Company Technology >Through extensive research and experimentation, the Company has compiled >superior products and methodologies for the conversion of aquatic wastes >into clean environments for the raising of finfish and shellfish. This >technology includes the use of microbial augmentation, aeration and >biofilters in reducing the major organic waste build-ups and gases. At >the same time they reduce pollution, disease and associated health >hazards. These products and techniques can be applied to agricultural and >industrial wastes as well. >Sanitary water conditions must be maintained during the raising of >aquatic animals. Microbial products, in particular. can produce an >environment in which many diseases, such as Aeromonas are precluded. >This is a particularly devastating fish disease and highly contagious. >This disease causes ulcers which necrose right through the muscle, which >is why it is also known as "Hole-in-the-Side" disease. It can also cause >gill rot, fin rot or blood poisoning before killing the fish. It also >causes "pop-eye" and "pine cone" disease (dropsy) and internal >hemorrhaging. Poor water conditions and maintenance, overcrowding, rough >handling, and rapid temperature and pH changes will trigger the infection >in fish. The efficacy of our products in its treatment are currently >being extensively tested and documented in Malaysia after it had been >successfully used in other Asian countries. Vibrio strains (one of which >is cholera) and other pathogenic bacteria are also precluded. >All of our products, both enzymic and microbial, have shown consistent >beneficial effects for marine crustaceans and aquatic vertebrates. >Antibiotics, which are mostly synthetic or chemical, can create more >virulent strains of the pathogens they are meant to combat. Our >probiotic microbes proliferate to the point that they preclude the >pathogenic bacteria from the environment (called "competitive exclusion") >while they also metabolize and clean up the wastes. >These microbial and enzymic products are superior to commonly used >products on the market today. Current documentation and application has >indicated that these products are the best way to reduce or eliminate >organic wastes. Rather than using the current method of flushing wastes >into another environment through the use of massive amounts of excess >water, our products can do the same job more economically and effectively. > Water is not wasted nor are other aquatic environments polluted. This is >because the microbes will continue to multiply and to metabolize organic >wastes as long as the wastes are there as a food source. >The Biological and Ecological Approach to Clean Water >ABCC's biological and ecological approach to aquacultural waste material >remediation and wastewater management accomplish the following >objectives: > *Reduces foul and unpleasant waste material odors significantly. > *Produces optimum water quality. > *Produces high-quality organic biofilters. > *Increases wastewater use alternatives. > *Decreases water usage. > *Reduces pest infestation, fungus, and diseases in aquatic livestock. > *Reduces groundwater contamination. > *Reduces use of harmful chemicals and synthetics. > *Decreases costs of waste disposal. > *Reduces toxic elements, such as sulfides and ammonias, phosphates and > nitrites, into harmless elements. > *Turns problem areas into profit centers. >Microbial and Enzymic Product Sources >ABCC has a virtual unending supply of low-cost microbial and enzymic >products available from our laboratories, including the newest and >ongoing developments.We have spent years researching and testing product >lines in our selection process. We are confident that our sources are the >most prolific and innovative in the field. >Under normal conditions nature keeps the chemistry in aquacultural >ecosystems in balance. When changes in the balance occur by overstocking >the aquatic system to produce more product for the market, too many fish >create more waste than can be digested naturally. The system becomes >polluted and toxic to the fish. Fish mortality increases the organic >toxic wastes and pollution. Thus whole aquatic systems will die off if >the imbalance is not corrected. >Microbial and enzymic products are significantly beneficial in >rejuvenating aquatic systems fouled from overstocking and chemical >additives. Most fish farms try to remedy these problems by flushing with >large quantities of water from surrounding bodies of water and drawn from >wells that tap the aquifer. This further unbalances the ecosystem and >expands the pollution. >ABCC provides customized blends of microbes and enzymes to address the >major carrying capacity problems of fish farming or intensive >aquaculture: density, ammonia and suspended solids. Oxygen is an >associated problem which requires a combination of our product to reduce >fecal solids, and aeration equipment, reducing suspended solids without >flocculents, reduces inflammatory gill diseases. >Quality Control Testing of Microbial and Enzymic Products >A continuous analysis of ABCC's products is done at the laboratory and >will be verified through our own testing facilities during batching. Each >formulation will be identified, and the strength of our products defined, > to guarantee quality control and to facilitate proper dosages. As always, >our microbial and enzymic products will be continuously monitored and >tested. >U.S. Department of Agriculture Compliance >The Company's products requiring USDA approval have such approvals. There >are products not requiring USDA or EPA approval. Such clearance or >approval is not required because these products are simply concentrated >quantities, specially propagated and formulated, of only naturally- >occurring microbes and enzymes. None are genetically altered. >ABCC's Primary Microbial and Enzymic Products >ABCC's primary microbes and enzymes are produced by particular certified >laboratories to meet our higher density and quality standards. From these >we formulate blends for specific applications. The propagation of >microbes and the production of enzymes are proprietary secrets of the >laboratory and we jealously guard the identity of our sources. Microbes >and enzymes themselves are not patentable unless genetically altered-ours >are not. They are naturally-occurring. >The propagation of microbes and enzymes is not proprietary either. >However, the equipment, methods and processes, quantities, densities and >blending of the microbes and enzymes are proprietary. ABCC, in turn, has >these microbes and enzymes shipped to our bottling and packaging >warehouse, whereupon they are combined or blended for the particular >remediation project at hand. With this procedure of customization, >competitors cannot decipher the formulation of our blends. ABCC also has >a nutrient which we add to our blends as a food source which further >complicates the identification of the blending. Once the blends are >packaged, there is no way the customer can propagate the original high >concentrations of the microbes or enzymes. Achieving a long shelf life >involves proprietary and trade secrets. >ABCC's products have a shelf life of 8 months to a year at room >temperature. During this period the microbial count will slightly degrade >on a daily basis. If refrigerated, the microbes and enzymes will go >dormant and can be stored for up to 2 years. They cannot be stored below >38 degrees F, or they will die. ABCC has a number of basic product >blends which are used in aquacultural applications at this time. These >products are Vitanitrifyer, Vitazyme (liquid), Vitazyme (dry), Vitaclear, >Vitablue, Vitabrew probiotic twin packs - Vitashield and Vitabiotic, >Vitazyme Super, and Vitadegrader. > >email: cxqp37e@prodigy.com
