Modern poultry production faces increasing pressure to improve performance while reducing dependence on antibiotic growth promoters. Producers are looking for natural alternatives that can support gut health, improve feed efficiency and strengthen bird resilience under commercial farming conditions. One solution gaining significant attention is Oregro L.

What is Oregro L?

Oregro L is a water-soluble liquid supplement based on essential oils extracted from some of the phytogenic feed additives. It is formulated to support intestinal health and overall performance in poultry through natural bioactive compounds which are rich in antioxidant, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties.

The product is commonly used in broilers, layers and breeders to help improve feed conversion ratio (FCR), reduce mortality and maintain healthy gut integrity during stressful production periods.

The importance of gut health in poultry

The gastrointestinal tract plays a critical role in nutrient digestion, nutrient absorption, immunity and growth performance. When gut health is compromised by pathogens, toxins, or poor feed quality, birds often experience reduced feed intake, poor nutrient absorption, lower weight gain, increased feed conversion ratio, higher mortality, increased susceptibility to diseases such as necrotic enteritis, etc. Maintaining a balanced intestinal microbiome is therefore essential for profitable poultry production.

How Oregro L Works

Oregro L works through the activity of essential oils, which possess several beneficial properties:

1. Antibacterial activity
   The essential oils used in Oregro L help suppress harmful bacteria such as E. coli, salmonella and clostridium perfringes, organisms commonly associated with intestinal disease in poultry. By reducing pathogenic pressure in the gut, birds can maintain better intestinal integrity and nutrient absorption.
   
   
2. Anti-inflammatory effects
   Inflammation damages intestinal villi and reduces digestive efficiency. Oregro L contain compounds that may help reduce intestinal inflammation and support faster gut recovery during stress periods.
   
   
3. Antioxidant support
   Oxidative stress negatively affects immunity and performance. The antioxidant properties of Oregro L help protect intestinal tissues and support bird resilience during environmental and nutritional challenges.
   
   
4. Improved Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR)
   A healthy digestive tract allows birds to utilize nutrients more efficiently. We have seen positive results on farms that we are using Oregro L and supplementation of it in broilers have demonstrated improvement in growth parameters and feed efficiency.

Benefits of Oregro L in Poultry

When correctly implemented in poultry programmes, Oregro L provides several production benefits, such as; improved gut integrity, better feed conversion ratio, improved weight gain, reduced mortality, reduced intestinal disease pressure, improved flock uniformity, reduced reliance on antibiotic growth promoters, no withdrawal period and easy administration through drinking water. These benefits are especially valuable during periods of stress such as chick placement, vaccination, feed changes, heat stress, coccidiosis challenges and disease outbreaks.

Application in Broilers

In broiler production, Oregro L is often used during brooding periods, feed transitions, post-vaccination stress, necrotic enteritis challenges and heat stress periods. The product supports intestinal stability and may help birds maintain growth performance under commercial production pressure.

Application in Layers and Breeders

In layers and breeders, maintaining intestinal health is critical for egg production, shell quality and fertility. Oregro L will assist by supporting nutrient absorption, reducing intestinal stress, helping maintain feed intake during stress periods and supporting flock immunity and consistency. Because the product has no withdrawal period, it can be used flexibly in egg producing birds.

Water-soluble advantage

One of the major advantages of Oregro L is its water-soluble formulations. Water administration allows rapid and practical application during high-risk periods without requiring feed formulations. This provides farmers with easy dosing, quick intervention during stress events and reduced handling stress

Conclusion
As poultry producers continue moving towards antibiotic reduction and sustainable production systems, natural phytogenic products such as Oregro L offer promising support for gut health and bird performance. Through its antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and gut-supporting properties, Oregro L can help poultry producers improve feed efficiency, support flock health and reduce production losses during challenging periods

When integrated into a well-managed nutrition, vaccination and biosecurity programme, Oregro L becomes a valuable tool for modern poultry production.
