Researchers at the Crimean Research Institute of Agriculture have created a new liquid phytobiotic additive for animals, based on oregano and mountain savory, which has shown to boost immunity and promote weight gain. The additive, which has no equivalents in Russia, was tested on rabbits and broiler chickens over two years, with positive results on immunity and blood supply, as well as a significant increase in animal weight. The institute is in the process of patenting the formula and is prepared to manufacture the additive on demand. The institute has also developed a method to increase the essential iodine content in products by introducing algae additives into animal diets.
