Placebo controlled Honey Bee Longevity: Safety & Efficacy
Preotica group shows an increase of honey bee longevity by 8.22% compared to a control group fed with sugar water only.
Farmers Feedback
“The hives with Preotica were looking fantastic and clean. I couldn’t find any diseases, any chalkbrood, absolutely clean, the brood was expanding and consistent. I have seen a very positive effect of the extract. I'm a very happy customer"

Addressing Spotty Liver Disease in the industry
WA, Australia 2019
14,000 birds
Weekly egg numbers showed increase of 16.5% in the prevention model compared to the treatment model.
Total mortality showed decrease by 65% in the prevention model compared to the treatment model
Trial: 14,000 birds
A comparison between retrospective antibiotic treatment of SLD versus preventative treatment of birds with Preotica.
Mortality - Results show a decrease in total mortality by 65% in the birds administered Preotic as a preventative compared to the birds treated with antibiotics as an SLD treatment.
Egg number - Results show an increase of 16.5% in total weekly egg number from week 16 to week 48 in the birds fed Preotica as an SLD preventative measure compared to the birds treated with antibiotics as an SLD treatment.
Trial: 20,000 birds
Trial where another 20,000 birds were fed with the extract and 20,000 birds were a control group without extract,
from week 18 to week 31 of age. The control birds were fed with antibiotics at 24 weeks of age
because of Spotty Liver Disease outbreak.
Results:
Total dirty eggs have decreased by 28.7% in the treated group compared to the control shed
Results:
Total cumulative Hens Housed Eggs increased by 4.4% in the treated group compared to control group

Natural Solution For Prawn’s Health
Preotica is an evolutionary life sciences company that has been focusing on counteracting anti-microbial related issues. Utilising mycelium bio-technology extraction processes in conjunction with ancient, Indigenous bush medicine the company has been able to produce some remarkable results in the poultry, bees and aquaculture industries.
Our Strategy For Prawns
Supporting immunity in colonies of prawns leading to a reduction in disease and mortality. This can be achieved by extracting bioactive compounds from medicinal mushrooms with antimicrobial and antiviral activities, making available to prawn colonies as a feed supplement. More specifically we offer the ability to use highly potent extracts with selected b‐glucans which have an immunostimulatory benefit enhancing prawn specific humoral immunity, reducing mortality and helping prawns survive infections.
Solution
Preotica extract for shrimp is a complex of fungi strains and Australian native bush foods with immunostimulants bioactive compounds such as [beta]-1,3-glucan and triterpenoids extracted to target specifically the white spot syndrome virus.
This solution is designed to improve resistance to diseases in shrimp by decreasing mortality rate significantly.
Laboratory test
Residues, mycotoxins, and heavy metals have been conducted as safety tests.
Research
So far we have conducted large scale in field research on 6 millions prawns. Preotica extract group has shown a statistically significant increase of production with +15% more post-larvae (PLs) than the control group.
Operation Manager feedback
“Overall results of these first trials are encouraging. The noticeable difference between trial vs. control (+15%) seems to imply an effect on the bacterial load/infection – one of the challenges we regularly deal with in prawn hatcheries. This could be perceived as a confirmation of the mushroom extracts ability to control/inhibit bacterial growth”.
SUMMARY
To date we have run trials on 1100 hives which is a total of 55Million bees, 200,000 Chickens and 6 million prawns.
“Farmers and consumers are aware of antibiotics and don’t want to be using or consuming them in their eggs or chickens. A natural solution like this is the answer”.
