An oregano essential oil-based feed additive has been approved for organic livestock production by several European organic certification bodies. This approval meets EU regulations and supports the growing demand for natural products in organic farming.
Orego-Stim® Plus, part of Anpario's range of animal feed additives, has received certification for use in organic livestock production from the Research Institute of Organic Agriculture FiBL Germany and Demeter International. This approval, in compliance with EU regulations, allows organic producers to incorporate the feed additive to support optimal production.
Organic Farmers & Growers and FiBL in Switzerland and Austria already approve other products in the Orego-Stim range for use in all livestock species.
Sarah Osborne, Corporate Development Director, commented on the significance of this certification: "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 Orego-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.”
Orego-Stim is an oregano essential oil-based product that works in the gastrointestinal tract to support animal health, leading to more productive and hence more profitable livestock production.
