Zivo Bioscience, Inc. announced positive efficacy results following its recent 42-day coccidiosis challenge study further demonstrating the effectiveness of its novel immune-modulating treatment for coccidiosis in broiler chickens. ZIVO?s product candidate for use in poultry feed is designed to boost immune response, allowing birds to effectively combat coccidiosis and reduce the negative effects of the disease without the use of antibiotics. With these and earlier test results, ZIVO will pursue a partnership with a global animal health company for commercializing its coccidiosis product.

The study design was similar to that of a previously successful 28-day challenge study but was extended through 42 days to replicate real-world conditions of the broiler production industry. The results of the study in which the ZIVO treatment groups and a placebo control were blinded to the independent study contractor confirm previously reported positive effects of ZIVO?s non-antibiotic alternative for maintaining broiler health against coccidiosis. Notably, the study also showed that the performance of ZIVO?s product candidate was comparable to that of a market leading anticoccidial product.
