Application
Crystalyx Easy Breather is a feed lick specially designed with the intention to help alleviate stress and respiratory problems in calves and sheep. Respiratory problems in calves and sheep are most prevalent in autumn and winter, especially when animals are housed. Containing menthol and eucalyptus Crystalyx Easy Breather offers a natural aid to maintain a healthy respiratory system. Inclusion of a unique MOS (mannan oligosaccharides) reduces the ability of pathogens to colonise the gut wall by binding with them, stimulating an improved immune response.
Respiratory problems and stress in calves and sheep: Calves, like children, are particularly prone to respiratory problems, as they have not developed any natural immunity to many infectious organisms. The severity of the problems can vary from a mild nasal discharge and coughing in a group of calves, to severe pneumonia with some deaths. Crystalyx Easy Breather contains active and proven decongestants to help reduce coughing and respiratory irritation.
Crystalyx Easy Breather incorporates a unique blend of vitamins and trace elements to help develop and maintain an optimum immune defence system. Highly palatable Crystalyx Easy Breather helps calves and sheep regain their appetite after a stress or challenge. Dry feed intake is stimulated giving stronger more vigorous livestock that are better able to withstand a challenge. Research carried out at Kracow University confirmed a significant improvement in dry feed intakes with a 8% increase in DLWG being recorded in dairy calves.

“Our calves are healthier and more content since we introduced Easy Breather through the winter, whilst the smell of menthol and eucalyptus gives you great peace of mind”.
