palaMOUNTAINS contains water and fat soluble vitamins, which is effectively solubilised in the emulsion. Because they have been dissolved the nutrients are readily absorbed offering greater uptake of nutrients by the animal.

Fat soluble vitamins require fat in the system to assist with uptake. palaMOUNTAINS provides this polyunsaturated fat source.

Vitamins are passively taken up by cells in the gut wall, maximising nutrient uptake.

Double bond attachment. Iodine chemically reacts with the fatty acid bond providing significantly higher uptake into the body than other water based products.

Mode of Action

Mode of Action

“The advantage of Revive compared to other supplements on the market is that it has both water and fat present in the product. This means that the water soluble vitamins will dissolve in the water, whilst the fat soluble vitamins will dissolve in the oil. Because they have both been dissolved they can readily be absorbed from the small intestine which means that the animal can uptake more vitamins from Revive compared to other powdered or water based vitamin products. If the vitamins have not been solubilised then they cannot be absorbed by the small intestine so while other water based vitamin products on the market may have the fat soluble vitamins in the product, they are not readily available to the animal unless the animals have recently eaten a relatively large amount of fat.

The fats and fat soluble vitamins are then emulsified by bile salts and emulsions and these are presented to the cells lining the inside of the small intestine where they are

taken into the body. The vitamins do not chemically react in any way with the fats. They are passively taken up by cells in the gut wall.

In the case of iodine they do react chemically and bond with the fatty acids, because the iodine atom is chemically attached to the fatty acid it will readily be taken up by the gut cells. Normally when an iodine molecule arrives at the gut cell there is a control mechanism that limits the amount of iodine that will be taken up by the body. But when you attach a molecule of iodine to a double bond of a fatty acid there is no control that limits the amount of iodine that can be taken into the body and so we are able to get more iodine into the animal than might normally be the case.

Hence Revive with added iodine is far more effective than dosing an animal with just iodine.”

palaMOUNTAINS unique patented oil emulsion will greatly assist and lift your animals production levels.

“Animal nutrition is much like a ‘production line’ at the Abattoirs, where there are a whole lot of processing lines with workers at various stages along each process line doing things to the carcass to firstly remove the pelt, viscera etc and then later breaking the carcass down to cuts. The animal’s digestion system is similar where there are a range of bacteria and enzymes (process workers) breaking down the food that it has eaten and then process lines within the body to utilise the absorbed nutrients and build muscle, fat, bone, wool etc. The effectiveness of the bacteria and enzymes in the gut and body is highly dependent on what the animal feeds on. The rate at which the bacteria and enzymes can work at ranges from sluggish to flat out and it all depends on whether they are fed with the right balance of nutrients.We can make them (the digestive system) work more efficiently by providing them with key nutrients (palaMOUNTAINS Revive etc.) so that they are capable of operating at peak capacity.However, the speed that is actually operated at depends on how much of the right foods the animal is ingesting which in turn affects how much weight the animals gain,

which in turn affects the quality of their overall production, i.e. type of weight gain, health, wool growth etc.Whether the animal puts on weight depends entirely on the quality and amount of food the animal gets; so palaMOUNTAINS Revive etc. won’t contribute to weight gain on its own but will assist & promote the rate at which the digestive system is able to operate at. Animals’ overall production requires that the animal eats enough of the right foods and gets the right nutrients each day; any shortage of food or nutrients for a prolonged period will result in weak production output.palaMOUNTAINS unique patented oil emulsion with its 99.5% absorption rate will greatly assist and lift your animals production levels.”

PETE RICHARDSON - ‘WEREROA’, WAITOTARA, SOUTH TARANAKI“The first trial group consisted of 20 ‘tail end’ yearling steers which were the poorer ones of the mob. They got a couple of doses of palaMOUNTAINS Revive during a 4 week period and by the months end they had caught up to the rest. In my view they certainly were visibly improved and it gave me the confidence that the product worked. I then drench the rest of the mob and again saw good results. I have also used this product on sheep as a pre-lambing boost with a pleasing outcome. palaMOUNTAINS Revive is a very good tool to use on stock to give them a boost and improve general health.”

Note – The graph uses the Babcock Institute (average normal growth weight of calves) as the control for the trial – illustrating a 26% weight gain in the Revive trial group.

“We are extremely pleased with the impressive weight gains made by this group of calves and attribute their success to good quality feed and the regular drenching of palaMOUNTAINS Revive. Our calves were in fantastic condition and maintained healthy appetites throughout which we believe is the direct result of drenching palaMOUNTAINS Revive.McKenzie Farms Limited highly recommends regular drenching with palaMOUNTAINS Revive when rearing calves to assist in achieving maximum weight gains.”

Deer Testimonials

DAVID & JACKIE STODART - TE ANAU“We drenched all our deer with palaMOUNTAINS Revive once during the season and found we were able to send lighter animals away early for higher prices. Our velvet stags averaged last year 4.37kg and this years average is 5.14kg. This is a 77gm increase for $9.62 per animal. We found palaMOUNTAINS Revive extremely helpful in young weaner deer to give them a much needed boost. Throughout our entire farming operation Revive has been very helpful with our overall stock health and performance.”

BILL HALES - HANMER SPRINGS “I have used palaMOUNTAINS Revive this winter, mixing it with the hinds silage and drenching the weaners. From this programme we have had an extra $37,000 income this year, coming from an investment of $2,775.00. So that’s a 1345% return on capital invested, as you can imagine I’m pretty happy with that.”

BRUCE SHIELD - SEFTON“In over 30 years of deer farming I have never seen my animals look so good. The reason for this I put down to the introduction this year of palaMOUNTAINS Revive which we have used since the Autumn. We have had shiny coats, no fence walking, scours or deaths.With a zero mortality rate and overall improved yield we obtained a return on our investment of 18.11 times. palaMOUNTAINS Revive is easy to use, I have mixed it with feed or drenched, and am more than happy with its performance.”

8 extra deer (no deaths) purchase price $200, slaughter price $400 = $4800 Drafts: 20 average increase 7kg @ $8.75 = $1225 26 average increase 4kg @ $8.50 = $884 30 average increase 4kg @ $8.00 = $960 27 average increase 3kg @ $7.30 = $591 $3660 Total $8460 Expenses: 1 x 20l Revive @ $467 which gives you a return on investment of 18.11 times

MARK HAMES - TE ANAU“All our velveting stags were drenched 60ml palaMOUNTAINS Revive at button drop and 30ml prior to regrowth. Our results have been fantastic with a 20% increase over the average of the last three seasons. Good comments were also received regarding the quality. We are very happy with palaMOUNTAINS Revive which we will continue using next season.”
