As the European Union intensifies its enforcement of the Farm to Fork Strategy under the European Green Deal, the agricultural landscape of Greece is experiencing a structural revolution. Greek livestock operations, ranging from the mountainous pasturelands of Thessaly to the dense poultry clusters in Central Macedonia and aquaculture systems throughout the Aegean Sea, are actively eliminating chemical growth promoters and synthetic preservatives. The mandate is clear: adopt biological, botanical, and eco-friendly feed solutions that uphold animal welfare while assuring food safety.
The Greek livestock sector features unique characteristics. Small ruminant farming (sheep and goats) forms the cornerstone of the rural economy, driving the global supply of Greek Feta cheese. The dairy composition, curd behavior, and yield of these sheep and goats are directly affected by their health, rumen fermentation efficiency, and stress levels. Summer heatwaves frequently induce severe oxidative and respiratory stress, degrading feed intake and milk output.
Simultaneously, Greece ranks as one of Europe’s foremost producers of farmed finfish (mainly European Sea Bass and Gilthead Seabream). The sensitive aquatic environments of the Mediterranean Sea demand feed ingredients that protect water quality while strengthening fish immunity against bacterial infections like *Photobacterium damselae* and *Vibrio* species without relying on excessive antibiotics.
Our feed-grade essential oils and botanical additives strictly satisfy EFSA guidelines. All raw plants are traced, tested, and certified free from pesticide residues, heavy metals, or GMO contamination.
By harnessing the power of natural terpenes and phenols, our plant extracts serve as highly functional, non-resistance-forming alternatives to conventional gut stabilizers in animal feed formulations.
Oregano, thyme, and peppermint compounds support beneficial microbiota, reduce methane emission losses, and improve nutritional absorption, maximizing Feed Conversion Efficiency (FCR).
Extracted via precise steam distillation and cold compression. Contains concentrated volatile compounds. We monitor and standardize key active fractions in oils such as oregano, tea tree, peppermint, and eucalyptus to guarantee reliable antiseptic and digestive benefits.
Explore CategoryAlso termed carrier oils, extracted via slow mechanical cold compression. Vital for diluting potent essential oils for safe dermatological application in veterinary topical care, and providing highly bioavailable essential fatty acids in specialized feed mixes.
Explore CategorySeparated through targeted cooling, crystallization, and advanced filtration. Sourced from our self-owned raw material base, ensuring uniform concentrations of pure compounds like natural menthol, geraniol, and carvacrol.
Explore CategoryFounded in 2006, Jiangxi Hairui Natural Plant Co., Ltd. is located within the Jinggang Mountain High-Tech Development Zone, Ji’an, Jiangxi Province, China—a region famous for its abundant wild-crafted and cultivated medicinal flora. Over 17 years of technical specialization, we have built a fully integrated supply chain: from seed selection across our 5,000+ acre cultivation farms, to precision processing inside our 13,000-square-meter automated plant.
Equipped with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analyzers and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) instruments, our quality assurance team enforces a comprehensive 9-step control pipeline. We produce over 2,000 tons of natural botanical essential oils annually, servicing veterinary laboratories, animal nutrition producers, and pharmaceutical enterprises in over 56 countries.
Utilizing high-concentration Limonene and Orange Oil extracts to formulate organic contact insecticides and fungicides, preserving Greece's premium olive groves and citrus orchards from persistent pests.
Utilizing natural Castor Seed and Tea Tree Oils as bio-active bases for dairy cow and sheep teat dips and wound ointments, reducing incidence of subclinical mastitis in milking herds.
Integrating stabilized essential oils into dry feed formulations. Active plant phenols remain protected during extrusion and bypass the rumen, targeting the intestinal tract to optimize digestion.
Misting dilute peppermint, eucalyptus, and lavender essential oils across poultry barns and swine housing during heatwaves to promote respiration and maintain target feed intake.
Our extraction plant operates under strict oversight, conforming to major chemical, cosmetic, and food-safety directives. These standards ensure our feed-grade essential oils comply with European feed additive laws.
Find answers to key technical, regulatory, and logistics questions concerning importing botanical feed additives into Greece.
Yes. All feed additive products shipped to Greece are produced according to strict quality guidelines that satisfy EU Regulation 1831/2003 (governing additives for use in animal nutrition). We provide full chemical profiles, Certificate of Analysis (COA), and MSDS sheets confirming the precise level of active components like Menthol, Carvacrol, or Limonene, ensuring compliance with European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) mandates.
Most shipments are packed in robust, export-grade steel drums or IBC tanks at our Jiangxi factory, dispatched by rail or road to major Chinese shipping ports (e.g., Shanghai or Shenzhen), and shipped by sea to the Port of Piraeus or the Port of Thessaloniki. Average maritime transit time to Greece ranges from 28 to 35 days, depending on carrier schedules and shipping lanes.
Yes. Our in-house research laboratory and QC facilities allow us to formulate custom-ratio mixtures of active botanical ingredients. Whether you need a specific blend of Oregano, Thyme, and Sweet Orange oils to control pathogenetic loads in sheep feeding, or specialized water-soluble carrier dilutions for fish farm feed spraying, our technicians can develop custom formulations tailored to your performance goals.
We work closely with feed manufacturers to provide stabilization advice. Some active compounds require carrier matrices or micro-encapsulation to prevent thermal degradation during high-temperature pelletization or extrusion. We supply premium-purity raw oils and extracts, along with detailed usage instructions to maintain optimal shelf life and performance in final animal feed pellets.
Our standard MOQ for essential oils and extracts starts at 25 kg (packaged in sturdy, food-grade aluminum drums) to ensure secure transit. For bulk volume orders, we offer 200 kg steel drums and 1000 kg IBC containers, which feature discounted pricing suitable for large-scale Greek feed mills and veterinary medicine factories.
