Animunin is a natural substitute and alternate to conventional antibiotic therapy for management of respiratory diseases. A group of researchers reported efficacy of Animunin to inhibit virus multiplication and promoting immune function. Many other researchers in previous conducted studies reported efficacy of Animunin to protect the poultry respiratory system from infections by maintaining respiratory functioning in a natural way. Animunin is a unique combination of phyto-bioactives and essential oils viz. thymol, cineole, eucalyptol, curcumin that exhibit strong antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal and anti-allergic activities. Animunin is recommended for both prevention and therapeutics of respiratory mycoplasmal, bacterial, viral infections. Animunin is a safe, highly effective, resistance and residue free, cost-effective option for management of respiratory infections in poultry birds.
