Struthers, Inc. Forms Alliance with A-B Duroc of Minnesota Business Editors CHARLESTON, S.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 2, 2000--Struthers Inc. (OTC BB: STRU) and its subsidiary, Legred Struthers Genetics Inc. have announced a 4,000 head swineherd alliance, with A-B Duroc of Southern Minnesota which is projected to generate $3 million in gross revenues. With the addition of this alliance and other alliances currently under negotiation Struthers is on pace to meet or exceed their current projection of 150,000 alliance sows within the next eighteen months, which represents over 3,750,000 market hogs." A-B Duroc has entered into an agreement for Struthers gilts and semen to add to their current base of sows. The Minnesota herd will be used for the production of Struthers' TenDurChoice(TM) brand-label pork. This facility will meet all Struthers' Certified standards, from nursery to finished operation. Producer alliance herds must follow strict Struthers' health protocols, whereas boars, sows, gilts and finished swine are never fed animal protein in their growth diet and great care is taken against the introduction of any harmful chemicals and unnecessary antibiotic products. No other swine genetics company offers what Struthers has, superior genetics, in our line of gilts and boars, embryo transfer technology, feed protocols and world-acclaimed research techniques. Dr. Douglas Beatty, president of Struthers said, "Struthers' innovative technology and continued alignment with producers will revolutionize the porcine industry."
