This is Chris Redgrave for Zions Bank Speaking on Business.
Today, AZOMITE (ay-zoh-mite) Mineral Products in Nephi is using this deposit to create fertilizers and as a feed ingredient for customers all over the world. AZOMITE products have over 70 different elements from the periodic table. Their Feed Grit product, used as a feed ingredient for livestock, is gaining popularity because research has indicated its potential to improve overall animal health, so you can reduce feed costs and improve livestock performance.
Almost all living organisms are looking for the minerals and trace elements we rely on for nutrition. Our bodies try to find them anywhere they can. That's why using this product as a fertilizer, so the minerals are added from the ground up, makes sense and shows AZOMITE Minerals' genius.
Most of their studies on livestock have been done with poultry, but right now AZOMITE Minerals is studying the effect on other livestock. They're seeing benefits in every sector they try it in, from seafood to swine and beef. Not to mention the benefits with plants.
The word is getting out on what AZOMITE offers. They're approved as a fertilizer for organic growers and are listed in the prestigious Organic Materials Review Institute, or OMRI. Last year alone almost 30 percent of their sales were international. You can find AZOMITE in over 30 countries, as far away as China, Ecuador and the Middle East. Locally, you can find their products in IFA and Steve Reagan (ree-gan) stores or by visiting their website, azomite.com.
If you'd like to find out more about how to build your company's global presence, you can attend the eleventh annual Zions Bank Trade and Business Conference on May 23. For more information or to register, visit www.zionsbank.com/conference.
