Welcome to the Ruth Group  

Established in 1957 by Lee Ruth the Ruth Group manufactures
in Australia an extensive range of veterinary products, animal
feed supplements, biologicals and algaecides.
 
The Ruth family has been operating under the distinctive RCI
logo since 1961 when it amalgamated with Tone All Supplies Pty
Ltd and created the Good Eggs marketing campaign which
initially positioned it in the then rapidly expanding poultry industry
in Australia.

RCI research has developed many veterinary products for the
intensive livestock, performance animal, cattle, horse, racing
camel and goat industries. After winning an Australian
Government sponsored research grant RCI developed a
unique algaecide which has application in a wide range of
industries including , but not limited to, potable water
supplies, farm dams, irrigation channels, hydroponics,
rice growing, mining operations,power stations, nurseries
and gardens, golf courses,livestock drinking troughs, sewage
treatment works.

The distinctive RCI LogoRCI logo has become familiar
on a range of products helping to improve the livestock industries
in Australia and in many countries to which RCI exports its
products. 

RCI pioneered a world wide niche market by specialising
in and creating veterinary products for animals raised in
hostile climates. These specialised products are designed
to reduce the detrimental effects, and consequent
economic loss, on the physiology of chickens and other
intensively raised animals, caused by hostile environmental
temperatures and relative humidities.
RCI Slogan 
RCI veterinary products are all designed to improve
production and increase profitability of the farm unit.
Being service oriented the group adopted the slogan
“together we bring science to your farm” To illustrate
our commitment to help farmers RCI was the first company
in Australia to introduce least cost feed formulation
to farmers mixing their own feed.
 This unique analogue feed formulation computer took hours to set up.

This service introduced in the 1970’s was made possible
by purchasing a specialised feed formulation computer
which completely occupied a room 12 foot square.
Today more powerful feed formulation programmes
are now readily available for use on lap top computers. 
 
Recognising the need for continuing research the group
has also initiated some unique studies into animal
production problems which frequently lead to the development
of new products.
