Strong Animals®

In collaboration with Hoover's Hatchery™ and NatureServe® feeds, Strong Animals® is encouraging everyone raising chickens at home to use the same essential oils and natural approaches employed by Hoover's Hatchery. 

For decades, Strong Animals has used essential oils and other plant-based products to naturally promote the overall health of animals. Strong Animals knows that backyard flock owners desire to use essential oils with their flock as a natural way to keep their birds healthy and free from disease, but they do not know how to do so safely and effectively. 

Through years of research and product development by seasoned poultry nutritionists and veterinarians, Strong Animals has removed the guesswork by developing a line of essential oil-based products that can safely be used to keep your flock healthy and thriving. Their products include water additives, daily snacks and coop refreshers featuring oregano, thyme, cinnamon, lemongrass, eucalyptus, bergamot, basil, rosemary, and ginger essential oils.

Since 1944 Hoover’s Hatchery has raised their flocks on small family farms and is widely recognized for raising the highest quality poultry under the strictest methods of care. This dedication to health and vitality has led them to utilize essential oil products from Strong Animals. “At Hoover’s, we want to encourage everyone to use the same essential oils and natural approach for raising small flocks at home,” said Tony Halsted, Director of Business Development at Hoover’s Hatchery.

Strong Animals has pioneered the use of essential oils that go into animal feed and supplements and has grown to be the market leader. Their products promote digestive health and immunity as well as providing a comfortable living environment for birds. “Since we started using Strong Animals products with our breeder stock, the health of our flocks and performance of our hatchery has improved,” said Halsted.
