During a heat challenge or after vaccination, pigs may need some respiratory support. Products with essential oils are very suitable to take care of your pigs’ breathing troubles.
Respiratory problems cause production losses
Hot days with high humidity and the high stocking density of pens can lead to respiratory problems. This can be a real burden for pigs and can result in declined production, because the pigs are panting and are less active, and thus are eating less.
Essential oils
Essential oils, such as eucalyptus, and menthol are ideally suited to give an alleviating effect on respiratory issues and provide freer breathing. Kanters has developed a water dissolvable solution, based on essential oils, which can be applied in drinking water or by spray application.
