The study evaluating the Company's novel immune-modulating biologic for treating coccidiosis in broiler chickens produced questionable results due to a high disease burden among tested chickens.
The pathogen inoculation used in the study produced an unexpectedly strong and concentrated disease challenge that resulted in a mortality rate 4-5 times higher than a typical study, and not representative of conditions expected in commercial broiler production houses. Despite efforts to titrate the inoculum in advance to assure an appropriate study environment, the disease burden was elevated far beyond naturally occurring or target study conditions.
Based on numerous previously successful trials that more closely replicated disease levels observed in commercial production facilities, ZIVO remains confident that its novel product for broiler chickens represents a disruptive solution to coccidiosis, one of the most significant challenges facing the global poultry industry.
