A feed additive hat works in the gastrointestinal tract to support animal health has been approved for use in organic livestock production by the Research Institute of Organic Agriculture FiBL Germany, and Demeter International.
The Orego-Stim range provides innovative phytogenic, eubiotic technologies formulated from Anpario’s unique source of consistent, high-quality, 100% natural oregano essential oil.
It has satisfied the rigorous certification process to ensure compliance with EU regulation, meaning the complementary feedstuff is now available for organic producers to help support production.
Organic Farmers & Growers in the UK and FiBL in Switzerland and Austria already approve other products in the Orego-Stim range, for use in all livestock species.
Anpario corporate development director Sarah Osborne said: “Organic production across Europe continues to grow at 5-8% per year and is fast approaching half a million organic producers.
“Demand for natural products like Oreo-Stim to help support optimal production within organic systems continues to rise, so we are delighted to confirm this new certification for our flagship product which celebrates its 25th Anniversary this year.
“The Orego-Stim range is renowned for its high quality and unrivalled consistency and has been demonstrated around the world to support animal health and production, by promoting optimum gut health in food producing animals.
“With so many challenges on production and so few feed additives approved for use in organic systems, Orego-Stim Plus is a product that can really add value to organic farming operations.
