Antibacterial effects of Olus®Biotic

Olus®Biotic is a blend that harnesses the powerful benefits of essential oils. With a concentration of 50% essential oils, Olus®Biotic stands as a highly effective solution for swine and poultry. What’s more, over 85% of these essential oils are derived from natural sources and standardized to ensure the highest quality.

One of the biggest advantages of Olus®Biotic is its exceptional antibacterial properties. Extensive laboratory studies have shown that it has strong antibacterial activity on both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Tests conducted on organisms such as Clostridium perfringens and Salmonella Typhimurium, have confirmed its strong antibacterial effect.

In a second trial, the efficacy of Olus®Biotic was demonstrated against Salmonella typhimurium, with a MIC value of 600 mL/1,000 L.

The selection of essential oils in Olus®Biotic was done with great care, considering not only their antibacterial effectiveness but also their anti-inflammatory properties. This combination allows Olus®Biotic to provide a comprehensive solution that addresses both bacterial threats and inflammation.

Cost price calculation

A practical perspective

When it comes to evaluating the value of a product, its efficacy, benefits, and Return on Investment (ROI) are of utmost importance. However, we occasionally receive feedback from our distributors and clients about the higher cost of Olus®Biotic compared to other options on the market.

We want to address this perception and explain our pricing structure to provide a clearer picture. Thorough analysis and clarification have consistently demonstrated that Olus®Biotic is competitively priced, often even more affordable than other products available.

To illustrate our position purely in terms of pricing, let’s examine the comparisons in Table 1 below:*Price just as an indication. Product name updated from Elan® to Olus®

We understand that many might initially perceive the price of 40 EUR/LTR for Olus®Biotic as expensive and potentially unsuitable for our market. It’s natural to compare it to other products in the market, such as Product X and Product Y, which may seem more affordable.

However, let’s consider a different perspective when evaluating the cost. When you compare the cost per 1000L of drinking water, you’ll find that there is almost no significant difference between Olus®Biotic, Product X, and Product Y. Additionally, if we examine the cost per 1% essential oil concentration, Olus®Biotic emerges as the most cost-effective option among the three.

It’s important to note that this is just an example of comparing prices based on essential oil concentration. Naturally, other factors and ingredients may be present in these products.
