Aflorin®
The Ultimate Aid to Reduce Respiratory Stress and Other Tensions
There are many common diseases, which can affect the respiratory system (air passages, lungs, air sacs) of poultry. Diseases of the respiratory tract are a significant component of the overall disease incidence in poultry. In many cases, respiratory disease observed in a flock may be a component of a multisystemic disease or it may be a predominant disease with lesser involvement of other organ systems. In some cases, such as infectious coryza or infectious laryngotracheitis, the disease may be limited to the respiratory system, at least initially. Various pathogens may initiate respiratory disease in poultry, including a variety of viruses, bacteria, and fungi. Environmental factors may augment these pathogens to produce the clinically observed signs and lesions.
Modern intensive animal operations are susceptible to high economic costs from disease outbreaks due to the high concentration and genetic uniformity of animals present. There is a greater economic impact on today’s global economy due to reportable disease outbreaks. Exotic Newcastle Disease, Salmonellosis, and Avian Influenza are three of the most concerning diseases from a cost and/ or human safety standpoint.
In many cases, respiratory disorders can cause a reduction in feed intake and productivity. Aflorin® is a proprietary complex mixture of essential oils like Menthol, Eucalyptus, Yucca Schidigera, Thymus, Curcuma, Carduus, Cynara, Inula, and Urtica which supports and improves different metabolic pathways. Mucolytic essential oils used in Aflorin® reduce Mucus accumulation and discharge out of bronchi and sinuses. An aid to bronchi inhalation and improving the resistance to all respiratory infections, the result is a healthier respiratory system and improvement in animal performance. Moreover, these compounds have anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, antipyretic, and paregoric effects, reducing oxidative and heat stress. One of the other properties that should be mentioned is their effect on reducing ammonia accumulation in the farm, which results in the improvement of air quality in the poultry house.
