Time to Seek Alternatives

Zinc Oxide is routinely used to control post-weaning scours and reduce the severity of the associated post-weaning growth check, however therapeutic zinc use has been linked to environmental pollution and antibiotic resistance in some bacteria, such as MRSA. (Yazdankhah et al., 2014).

Developed to manage intestinal health in animals, supporting optimum gut integrity and performance. Orego-Stim is a consistently high quality, 100% natural oregano essential oil feed additive, formulated to be low inclusion and free-flowing for addition to finished feed or water to give an effective homogeneous mix.

Improves Number of Piglets Weaned Through Maternal Feeding

Orego-Stim Improves Number of Piglets Weaned Through Maternal Feeding (CISS, IL. USA)

In Sows Orego-Stim Has Been Shown to:

  • Support proliferation of beneficial bacteria in the gut.
  • Maintain sow body condition scores.
  • Reduce incidence of oxidative stress.
  • Numerically increase piglet birth weights.
  • Support feed intakes and feed efficiency.

Driving Piglet Performance

Driving piglet performance through improved maternal nutrition is a cost-effective way to maximise lifetime performance and health of growing piglets, as piglets lost prior to weaning represent an economic loss, as well as a welfare target. Early microbial colonisation in young pigs provides a window of opportunity to modulate the gut microbiome and achieve long–term benefits on immune development, resistance to disease and digestive efficiency.

Supports Piglet Body Weight from Birth to Weaning

Orego-Stim Supports Piglet Body Weight from Birth to Weaning

In Piglets from Orego-Stim Supplemented Sows, Orego-Stim has been shown to:

  • Lower piglet mortality from 14.3% to 10.9%.
  • Improve lifetime performance, with a 3.4kg greater body weight at finish.
  • Increase piglet weight at weaning by 2.07kg.
  • Reduce medication use by 4.7%.
  • Provide a suitable alternative to therapeutic zinc oxide.
