Concept

Unima Integral Biosecurity is a company specialized in developing biotechnology products for the control of diseases that affect both human health and productivity on the food manufacturing industry. The company works towards the transition from the traditional chemical control of pathogens and diseases using antibiotics, agrochemicals, hormones and disinfectants to the use of the natural defense systems present in plants, animals, fruits, vegetables, fungi and bacteria. The core differentiator of the company is that the products developed by Unima are based on the systems that nature uses to control diseases, being then safe to human health and to the environmental equilibrium.
Our first product, Custovac®, is a vaccine stabilizer for its use in animal production (poultry and swine), developed from five active ingredients approved by FDA which can be used to increase the efficiency of the vaccination procedures performed in animal production. Using Custovac increases the level of protection against diseases acquired by vaccination, decreasing the costs of production associated to the decrease of productivity produced by disease outbreaks and the medication costs required to control these diseases. This way, producers can increase their revenues and profits while simplifying their production processes. Along with this, producers will decrease the need to use antibiotics because of the better protection against the disease. Custovac is a patented and proprietary technology of Unima.

Achieving maximum vaccine efficiency is one of the most important challenges for animal producers. However, under today’s production processes with high animal densities, the vaccination procedures must be fast, massive and with low costs. This way, two massive vaccination processes were developed: drinking water vaccination and spray vaccination. In both cases the vaccines must be diluted in the water from the farm. The drawback is that normally the water found in the farms has not the minimum physicochemical quality to maintain intact the vaccine while vaccinating. To overcome this problem, a general practice in the farms use products formulated with dehydrated skimmed milk or milk whey. These products have only a limited chlorine inactivation capacity, so they do very little to help to decrease vaccine inactivation. Being this is still too low to secure an optimum protection from disease, therefore continuous feed of antibiotics is needed.
We developed Custovac as a solution to this problem. The Custovac technology is capable of protecting the vaccine for over 3 hours maintaining 100% of the vaccine intact, thus securing the maximum level of vaccination possible and achieving the maximum level of protection against diseases. A maximum level o protection secures also a maximum level of productivity on the farm which increases revenues for the producer and maximizes profits.
All this benefits come along with a decrease of the need to use antibiotics in food production. Therefore, when using Custovac, producers are not only protecting their animals, but maximizing the profit from their companies and providing the consumer with a healthier product without toxic antibiotics.

What we can contribute to other entrepreneurs in the Americas
|
|
Over the past two years, our team has gathered extensive experience in high technology in star-up process. We have passed from zero to our present position by following the high demanding path of the high technology entrepreneurs worldwide. Nowadays we have filled an international patent, registered trademarks, signed strategic alliances with companies on the Fortune 500 list, going international, won several entrepreneurial prizes, received funds from Mexican government, close a first round of Venture Capital and we are hitting every milestone to reach IPO in 2012. Therefore, we can share all these experiences with other entrepreneurs in the Americas which are currently starting their journey, or in some cases, if we have complementary business models, maybe even collaboration between companies might born.
