November 27— Denver, CO- Vyta Corp (OTCBB: VYTC) and its joint venture partner, Justin Holdings announced today that Bioagra’s proprietary all-natural feed supplement, AGRASTIM® has been listed by The Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI) as approved for use in organic production. AGRASTIM® is manufactured, marketed, and distributed by Bioagra, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Vyta Corp and Justin Holdings, Inc.

OMRI is a national nonprofit organization that determines which input products are allowed for use in organic production and processing. OMRI Listed—or approved—products may be used on operations that are “certified organic” under the USDA National Organic Program. Bioagra is now permitted to say “OMRI Listed” on AGRASTIM®’s label and on any promotional literature. OMRI listed products are suitable for use in organic production. AGRASTIM® is now included on the OMRI Products List.

OMRI is a disinterested third party that makes recommendations to the organic operator and certifier. Forty-six of the 95 accredited US and International certifying agents for the USDA National Organic Program subscribe to OMRI’s review and listing service (http://www.omri.org/).

AGRASTIM®is a yeast Beta glucan product derived and purified from spent bakers’ or brewers’ yeast. This feed additive alleviates the need to use growth promotion antibiotics in the feed of the livestock, swine, poultry, shrimp and dairy cows. AGRASTIM® has very high biological activity and is the only safe and effective compound that can strengthen the immune system of farmed animals when added to their feed.

When AGRASTIM® is fed to farmed animals, it has been shown to:

Poultry - AGRASTIM® has been shown to reduce mortality resulting from bacterial infections, improve weight gain and feed conversion, reduce condemnations, and shorten growing time, resulting in higher profits for the producer

Dairy Cattle - AGRASTIM® has been shown to reduce “somatic cell count”, the indicator of infection that results in decreased milk production.

Beef and pigs - AGRASTIM® increases the number and survivability of live births and increases feed conversion.

Fish and shellfish - AGRASTIM® increases disease resistance and feed conversion.

Horses - AGRASTIM® has been shown to improve stamina and increase vaccine conversion.

Because AGRASTIM® works through stimulation of the body’s own immune system; it helps promote the overall health of most animals, while increasing disease resistance.
