Off and on over the last three years or so, his chickens have been eating a specially milled diet laced with oregano oil and a touch of cinnamon.
But Mr. Sechler said that nothing he had used as a substitute in the past worked as well as oregano oil.
Oil of oregano is a perennial one, advertised as a cure for just about everything, #said Scott Gavura,
The oregano oil product Mr. Sechler uses, By-O-Reg Plus, is made by a Dutch company, Ropapharm International.
A test of oregano oil on four small farms in Maine, which was financed by a $9, 914 grant from the Agriculture department,
studied the effectiveness of oregano oil on 18 mice infected with staph bacteria. Six mice were given oregano oil,
and half survived for the full 30 days of the treatment. Six received carvacrol, regarded by many experts to be the antibacterial component in oregano, in olive oil,
and none of them survived longer than 21 days. Six other mice received only olive oil and died within three days.
The study, which was underwritten by a company, North american Herb and Spice, and presented at a meeting of the American College of Nutrition in 2001,
After hearing about Bell & Evans s use of oregano oil, Bob Ruth, the president of Country View Family Farms, a Pennsylvania-based company, decided to test it on some of his pigs.
Mr. Ruth and Mr. Sechler warned that using oregano oil to control bacterial infection also requires maintaining high standards of sanitation in barns where animals are sheltered,
