Respynatura – Herbal Support for Healthy Breathing and Vitality

Thinning mucus and facilitating its removal from the respiratory tract. As a result, the airways are cleared and breathing during inflammation becomes easier. It is a real support in the treatment of respiratory disorders through its expectorant and spasmolytic properties.

Respiratory diseases are one of the main causes of loss of athletic condition and growth and development delays in racing pigeons.

The respiratory organs of birds are a vulnerable system because they are constantly exposed to the external environment and, therefore, are subject to infections.

Birds have air sacs outside the lungs. The air sacs continuously supply the lungs with air, ensuring pulmonary ventilation.

In flying birds, the air sacs are essential during flight because:

– they form the oxygen reserve at the time of take-off, when the rib cage is immobile as a result of muscle contraction,

– they reduce the specific weight of the body,

– they ensure balance during flight,

– they fix the internal organs so that the shock of landing is cushioned.

The air sacs are organs with a thin, poorly vascularized membrane, which makes them difficult to treat in cases of infection. They are also connected to other organs, not only the lungs, including bones! Being very susceptible to infections, a localized infection of the respiratory system can easily spread to the digestive system or the oviduct and vice versa by migrating pathogens, such as septicaemia due to coli bacillary superinfection in birds.

Mucociliary clearance is the primary innate defence mechanism of the respiratory system.

The respiratory tract is equipped with a functional mucociliary apparatus consisting of a protective mucous layer, a liquid layer at the surface of the airways and cilia on the surface of the ciliated cells. This apparatus produces mucus, which traps inhaled particles and pathogens and propels them out of the airways (e.g. by sneezing). This mechanism, called mucociliary clearance, is the main innate defence mechanism of the respiratory system.

When the pigeon suffers from a respiratory disease, which is usually complicated by a co-infection or secondary bacterial infection, there is an excess production of mucus that impairs mucociliary clearance. The excess mucus obstructs the airways by forming sores and plugs, leading to dyspnoea (hypoxia) and allowing invasive bacteria to adhere and colonize the respiratory system.

The accumulation of mucus in the respiratory tract severely reduces oxygen intake, causing difficulty breathing, reduced feed intake and a decrease in the energy level of the birds, which has a negative impact on weight gain and performance. Respiratory problems can result from infection with bacteria, viruses and fungi or from exposure to allergens. The resulting irritation and inflammation of the respiratory tract leads to sneezing, wheezing and coughing and, the rapid spread of infection.

A healthy respiratory system eliminates 80% of inhaled germs. When the animal’s defences are worn out by overexertion, infectious agents can penetrate deep into the respiratory tree, from which it is very difficult to remove them. As a result, pigeons are struck by various infections that have a negative impact on performance: colibacillosis, aspergillosis, mycoplasmas, etc.

For this we have created a formula concentrated in natural extracts that can become an important tool for managing respiratory problems. Extracts of plantain, echinacea, thyme, mint, eucalyptus, gentian, fennel, anise, Ginko biloba, willow, chamomile, rosehip have well-known applications in medicine. Based on the antiviral, anti-inflammatory and antibiotic action of the extracts, the product will have the following effects:

– reducing the spread of respiratory pathogens,

– rapid reaction of the body to alleviate respiratory distress and

– maintaining the functionality of the mucociliary apparatus.

All this, because:

– antibacterial properties will increase the body’s resistance to bacterial diseases such as salmonellosis, colibacillosis, mycoplasmas or clostridia that pose serious problems for the respiratory system and other segments

– positively influence the avian immune system, as it promotes the production of immunoglobulins, increases lymphocyte activity and stimulates the release of interferon-γ. In this way, it increases the titter of antibodies against viral diseases (avian influenza, Newcastle disease (fowl pox))

– activates antioxidant defence mechanisms reducing oxidative stress

– beneficial effect on intestinal microflora, absorption, digestion, weight gain and also has an antioxidant effect.

– Frees the airways from mucus optimizing breathing and thus the correct oxygenation of your
