Pippa Sprinks from Meriden Animal Health Limited was deemed the honour of visiting the Royal Pigeon Loft on the Sandringham Estate.

“It was brought to my attention that Mr Carlo Napolitano, the Manager of the Royal Pigeon Loft, had been using Orego-Stim® in Her Majesty’s Pigeons’ drinking water for many seasons. So, I went to find out exactly how he thought the pigeons had benefited from the Orego-Stim® in their drinking water.” said Pippa Sprinks.
