DPI GLOBAL has been able to help businesses, livestock producers and animal owners alike reach their goals, whether it's controlling odor, improving livestock and plant health or reducing impact on the environment. Read from a few of our recent success stories below.
To Whom It May Concern:
I started using E.D.R.O.™ after attending the Charmayne James Barrel Clinic held in Fergus Falls, MN in early September, 2006. I am feeding it to seven horses ranging in age from 18 months to 13 years. All seven horses readily consume it sprinkled on top of their wet beet pulp.
Three of the seven horses have trouble with coughing when consuming hay or when working in dusty conditions. This causes me to feed Tri-Hist granules and soak/wet hay for the entire group. Since beginning E.D.R.O.™, I don’t have to wet the hay, which creates a challenge in North Dakota in the winter. I have also been able to stop feeding Tri-Hist. I haven’t heard a cough or wheeze from any of the group. One of the horses that had a coughing problem is a four-year-old that I’m starting in barrels. There was a local arena that had a fall barrel series and it has a warmup area that is extremely dusty. In fact, the back part of the barn/arena gets so dirty that it is difficult to see from one end to the other. I didn’t hear a cough from him during any of the time we where there.
I am extremely satisfied with the product and the service from the DPI GLOBAL, Inc. Representatives.

Just wanted to say Thank You!
I have been using your product, E.D.R.O.™, for a few weeks now and I can not believe the difference in my barn. You can’t even tell that I have horses in there anymore.
Thanks for creating a great product!

In early March 2004, I was approached by Dr. Richard Godbee to test a new All Natural plant extract product. This product was designed to substantially reduce ammonia and odors in horse barns. I have a large barn with asphalt flooring in the stalls and because the urine cannot drain into the soil, ammonia has been a problem in the past. Because of this situation, I elected to test the new product; E.D.R.O.™ Thirty-two horses were used in the study.
The study began on March 15th, with a 14-day pretest period to determine the existing ammonia levels at that time. After the pretest period, E.D.R.O.™ was fed daily as a one-ounce top dress supplement. The study concluded on May, 9th, after the horses had received E.D.R.O.™ for 42 days.
After about ten days, I started noticing a definite reduction in the intensity of the ammonia odors and this continued throughout the entirety of the study. At the start of the study, I would have rated the ammonia level at “10”. By the end of the study, I felt the ammonia level would have been reduced to about a “3”. When the manufacturing representative met with me, I was told the actual test results. If you compare the ammonia level for the first two weeks vs. the last two weeks, the ammonia level had been reduced by 65% (test results available upon request). This is about what I had predicted.
I have been very satisfied with E.D.R.O.™ and plan to continue using it.

I have been actively involved in the horse industry for 39 years. During that time, I have seen many new products introduced and have tested a lot of them myself. In most cases, they’ve became “just another product” and something that I did not wish to continue using.
In early March, 2004, I was contacted by Dr. Richard Godbee to see if I would be interested in testing a new All Natural plant extract product that was designed to substantially reduce ammonia and odor in the barn. Because ammonia is a very real problem in the horse industry, I agreed to test this new product, E.D.R.O.™. Six horses in my facility were used in this test. The study began on March 15th, with a 14-day pretest period to determine the existing ammonia level at that time. After the pretest period, E.D.R.O.™ was fed daily as a one-ounce top dress supplement for 42 days. Ammonia levels and temperature were recorded every other day.
After about one week, I thought that I could notice a reduction in the ammonia intensity. By the end of the study (May 9th), I felt the ammonia was reduced by at least half. I later found out that the actual reduction comparing the first two weeks with the last two weeks was 65% (test results available upon request).
When the study was over, it was starting to warm up. I opened up my facilities and felt with the ventilation, I did not need to use E.D.R.O.™ any longer. However, in about three weeks, even with the doors open, I started noticing the ammonia again. I then started including E.D.R.O.™ once again, and within ten days, the ammonia smell had disappeared.
I firmly believe in this product and am now going to be using it in all my facilities the entire year.

The litter boxes for my two cats are kept in the garage, which is the main entrance to the house. When I am away for several days and return, there are strong odors from the boxes. I clean the fecal material from both boxes about every five (5) days and change to clean litter about every two to three weeks.
I was contacted by Distributors Processing, Inc. and asked if I would try a new product designed to reduce the odors from the litter box. I received the Odor-Bloc™ Cat Litter Deodorizer in September; 2004 and started using the product in late September after changing to new litter before leaving on a five (5) day trip. When I returned, there were no odors coming form the litter boxes.
After removing the fecal material from the litter boxes and not changing to new litter, I have continued to use the Odor-Bloc™ Cat Litter Deodorizer by sprinkling less than the recommended rate over the litter every five days or more with results that are quite pleasing. I can not detect any odors for the litter boxes.
The results of this test are amazing and I plan to use Odor-Bloc™ Cat Litter Deodorizer when it becomes available where I purchase my pet supplies.

We have two (2) house cats and I constantly battle with the “kitty litter” smells.
After using Odor-Bloc™ Cat Litter Deodorizer, a longer time period (several days!) would go by before I would even notice the smell.
I am now out of Odor-Bloc™ Cat Litter Deodorizer and definitely notice a difference!!
How can I get more!?
Thanks for letting me try the product and best of luck with it!

Odor-Bloc™ Cat Litter Deodorizer works extremely well. I keep litter boxes in the garage and in a closet – both enclosed areas. The Odor-Bloc™ Cat Litter Deodorizer significantly reduced that distinct, unpleasant odor associated with a litter box!
I have owned multiple cats all of my life, so I have tried most all products designed to control litter box odor. Odor-Bloc™ Cat Litter Deodorizer really works. It just takes a little and the small canister makes it easy and convenient to use.
In addition to sprinkling Odor-Bloc™ Cat Litter Deodorizer over fresh litter, I also sprinkle a little more into the plastic bag I use to empty the litter boxes into each day. That definitely helped control the strong odor that grew in the trash bin between the weekly trash collections!
I truly hope this product is on the market SOON!!

Thanks for sending us your new product. It does seem to work very quickly. I like that it is all natural, that’s important to me, for Murrey’s (our cat) sake. I personally like the fact that it gets rid of the perfume smell as well as the odors.

I have two cats in a smaller home. In the past, I would change the litter box and after about 3-5 days when I would walk in the house, I could always detect odors coming from the litter box. At that time I would clean the fecal material from the litter box and continue to use it for another 3 to 5 days before changing to new litter.
Around April 15, 2004, I was contacted by Distributors Processing, Inc. to see if I would be interested in trying a new product they had developed to reduce ammonia levels and fecal odors in cat litter.
Around the 20th of April I started using Odor-Bloc™ Cat Litter Deodorizer. I followed the manufacture’s usage directions and sprinkled approximately ½ cup of Odor-Bloc™ on top of the litter each time I changed it.
I would consider the results rather dramatic. No longer do I smell any odors upon entering my home. In addition, on two different occasions I have literally forgotten to change the litter box on the regular schedule (7-10 days) because the odors and ammonia have been considerably reduced.
I plan to continue to use Odor-Bloc™ Cat Litter Deodorizer once it is introduced into the marketplace.

I have one cat with her litter box located in the laundry room. I change the litter box approximately every four (4) days or she will not use it.
On about May 15, 2004, I was asked by Distributors Processing, Inc. to test a new product designed to reduce ammonia levels and fecal odors in cat litter.
I started using Odor-Bloc™ Cat Litter Deodorizer at that time. I followed the directions and sprinkled approximately ½ cup of Odor- Bloc™ on top of the litter each time I changed it.
I continued using the sample product for approximately two months. During this period, I did not think that I could detect a noticeable difference. However, shortly after the test sample was all used up, I noticed an immediate increase in fecal and ammonia odors.
It would seem that since I am around the litter box all the time, I did not notice the reduced level of odors and ammonia until I quit using the product.
Based on what I have seen in my own house, I will continue to use Odor-Bloc™ Cat Litter Deodorizer once it is available locally. Tricia Knight Haslet, Texas
Dan and Carol Speichner, managers and joint owners of Prime Feeders, Inc., a 2,700 head feedlot by New Hampton, Iowa, noticed how much greater the ammonia gas and odor were with MICRO-AID® out of the ration then when they did have it in.
"We Fed MICRO-AID® through the summer of 2008 and took it out last winter due to economic reasons. However, after coming home several evenings this spring and noticing the high ammonia and odor smell, as well as having a customer comment on the smell, we put MICRO-AID® back in this May and have noticed a reduction in odor ever since."
"We want to be good neighbors and believe MICRO-AID® makes a big difference. The reduction in amonia and odor is noticeably different from the road and in the cattle lots."
Carols says, "Even our chore clothes and shoes smell less with MICRO-AID® in the rations than before."
