BronchoVest: the natural solution for respiratory & thermal challenges

Biochem offers BronchoVest®, an additive composed of essential oils from eucalyptus and mint, along with menthol crystals. BronchoVest® has been carefully designed to support the respiratory functions of animals.

The composition of BronchoVest® supports the animals’ respiratory systems, acting preventively to mitigate the negative effects of respiratory challenges and heat stress

• Eucalyptus oil, rich in 1,8-cineole, enhances pulmonary function by restoring the natural activity of the respiratory epithelium and reducing mucus buildup in the bronchioles.
• Mint oil regulates excessive mucus production, improving airflow to the lungs.
• Menthol crystals activate specific sensory receptors, providing a cooling sensation, especially beneficial during heat stress.

The synergistic action of BronchoVest®’s ingredients clearly demonstrates their complementary characteristics, supporting respiratory functions and animal welfare.

The initial studies with BronchoVest® were conducted in poultry and showed numerous benefits, including:

• Reduction of respiratory challenges,
• Standardization of vaccine titers when used post-vaccination,
• Mitigation of post-vaccination reactions,
• Reduced losses at slaughter, and
• Improved performance in broilers, breeder hens, and commercial layers.

More recently, studies conducted in Brazil with pigs in nursery, growing, and finishing stages showed:

• Decreased post-partum respiratory rates in sows,
• Reduced need for medication in nursery piglets,
• Mitigation of respiratory challenges in nursery and finishing pigs,
• Lower piglet mortality, and
• Better zootechnical performance in all evaluated categories.

Similarly, in calves, the use of BronchoVest® resulted in improved overall health status and reduced need for medication.
