Benefits of all-natural
As we already mentioned, Ropapharm international supplies only products of a pure organic nature. There is a general increase in resistance to antibiotics in feed. The danger of resistance to micro organisms is an enormous, worldwide problem. Many diseases, once easily treated with antibiotics in animals and humans, are now harder to cure. The potential residues of antibiotics and sulfonamides in meat, milk and eggs raise additional food safety concerns. Human consumption of these residues can result in resistant pathogen species and further endanger human life. This danger does not affect Ropapharm International products.
According to The World Health Organization report (june 2000) the problem is getting worse. “In the last few years, evidence of the range of public health risks associated with the use of antimicrobials has grown stronger. The WHO noted that, excessive use of antimicrobials in food animals contributes to the development of treatment-resistant bacteria that can be transmitted to humans, mainly through food”.
It’s difficult to measure precisely the impact on human health with the use of antibiotics in farm animals, but experts believe resistant strains of Salmonella, Campylobacter, Enterococcus, and E. coli have already been transmitted from animals to humans.
Oregano / The natural alternative
Ropapharm International animal medicines and feed additives are based on purely organic/herbal ingredients from the oregano plant. A product such as ‘Ropadiar’ is an all-in-one product. Ropadiar contains highly effective oregano oils extracted from specially selected plants from own fields.
The proven active components of oregano oil consist of, amongst others, appetizing, antibacterial, anti-fungal, anti-parasite and anti-oxidative properties and an aid to increasing feed conversion. The product have no residual effects, no side effects, nothing remains in the body and the feed conversion of pigs, for example, is as much as 7% higher than usual. Our studies also revealed that Ropadiar has a positive effect on the immune system.
