Continuous application of certain
antibiotics in sub-therapeutic doses has been routinely used for growth
promotion for many years and still the usage is not entirely banned in some
regions. However, the trend is toward a more responsible approach and the
development is promising. At this stage, understanding growth promotion is
important, and choosing alternatives has to be discussed in depth. Taking into
consideration sub-clinical inflammation, or protecting intestinal mucosa, opens
the door for a profitable livestock production. Under this context, essential
oils possess a great potential. There are numerous, beneficial active compounds
in many plants, for example thymol and carvacrol in oregano or thyme. These
compounds possess great antioxidant properties and also influence transient
micro-organisms. Knowing and understanding their benefits along the digestive
tract has made them become an increasingly important and accepted alternative
strategy to enhance animal performance in general.
XVET OregoPlus counts with the synergy
of oregano, thyme, tea tree and anise oil improving zoo-technical performance. This
synergy provides a powerful antioxidant activity and stimulates digestion for better
utilisation. OregoPlus helps to enhance appetite, stimulates
digestive integrity and combats oxidative damage, helping to have high quality
animals.
