Prevention with Anta®Fresh
Natural strengthening of the airways helps to reduce medication costs
The economic relevance of respiratory disease in animal production is well known. Cost factors include increased mortality, decreased weight gain, reduced feed conversion and inhomogeneous animals. The monetary impact resulting from productivity loss in swine production can reach up to 13,00 Euro per pig. Bovine respiratory disease syndrome, the resulting veterinary treatments and negative implications for health and performance in beef cattle can lower the net revenue per animal by 35 % or more in feed lot operations. Respiratory health is therefore an important key to economic success. Anta®Fresh, the highly effective combination of essential oils and plant extracts, supports respiratory health. It strengthens the immune system and respiratory tract of animals and improves their general resistance.
Cleaning day in the lungs - what happens? Thanks to its mucolytic properties, Anta®Fresh helps the cilia in the lungs to clear the airways. The active substances stimulate receptors in the gastrointestinal tract and thus promote mucus production and liquefaction in the lungs. This makes it easier to cough up mucus. Dust particles and pathogens are removed from the lungs (Figure 1), the risk of recurring respiratory diseases decreases and the animals' well-being increases.
