Zusammenfassung

Gegenstand: Ätherische Öle aus Oregano wurden hinsichtlich ihrer Wirkung als Prophylaktikum gegen Absetzerkrankungen der Ferkel geprüft.Material und Methode: Die Ferkel erhielten nach dem Absetzen drei Wochen lang folgende Futterzusätze: Gruppe 1 (n = 602): unbehandelte Kontrollgruppe, Gruppe 2 (n = 609): 1000 ppm Oregano- Futterzusatz (Oregpig®), Gruppe 3 (n = 612): 2000 ppm Oregpig®, Gruppe 4 (n = 617): 3000 ppm Oregpig®. Es wurden Tageszunahmen, Futterverwertung und Mortalität bestimmt.Ergebnisse: Die Gruppen 1 und 2 zeigten signifikant (p ˂ 0,05) schlechtere durchschnittliche Tageszunahmen als die Gruppen 3 und 4. Die mit Oregano behandelten Gruppen hatten eine signifikant (p ˂ 0,05) bessere Futterverwertung als die Kontrollgruppe. In den Gruppen 1 und 2 ergab sich eine signifikant (p ˂ 0,05) höhere Mortalität als in den Gruppen 3 und 4.Klinische Relevanz und Schlussfolgerung: Bei Absetzferkeln bewirkt ein Oregano- Futterzusatz bessere Tageszunahmen und eine niedrigere Mortalität.

Summary

Objective: Evaluation of the effects of oregano feed supplements in regard to their prophylactic effect against postweaning diseases in piglets.Material and methods: Weaned piglets were assigned to four groups and treated as follows: group 1 (n = 602): untreated control, group 2 (n = 609): 1000 ppm oregano feed additive (Oregpig®), group 3 (n = 612): 2000 ppm Oregpig®, group 4 (n = 617): 3000 ppm Oregpig®. During three weeks postweaning, average daily gain, feed conversion rate and mortality were evaluated.Results: Average daily gain revealed significant (p ˂ 0.05) better results in groups 3 and 4 compared to groups 1 and 2. Feed conversion rate was significantly (p ˂ 0.05) better in all oregano treated groups compared to the untreated control. Mortality was significantly (p ˂ 0.05) lower in groups 3 and 4 compared to groups 1 and 2.Implications: Oregano feed additive improves daily gain and reduces postweaning piglet mortality.
