Zivo Bioscience, Inc. (OTCQB: ZIVO) (the “Company”), a biotech/agtech R&D company engaged in the development of therapeutic, medicinal and nutritional product candidates derived from proprietary algal cultures, announces additional findings from its 42-day coccidiosis challenge study that demonstrate the product’s positive impact on the cost of broiler production as an alternative to commonly-used antibiotics.

Key Points: 
  • Zivo Bioscience, Inc. (OTCQB: ZIVO) (the “Company”), a biotech/agtech R&D company engaged in the development of therapeutic, medicinal and nutritional product candidates derived from proprietary algal cultures, announces additional findings from its 42-day coccidiosis challenge study that demonstrate the product’s positive impact on the cost of broiler production as an alternative to commonly-used antibiotics.
  • These new results, along with earlier findings, further demonstrate the benefits of ZIVO’s product across the broiler production value chain.
  • ZIVO previously reported the effects of its product on the health of broiler chickens exposed to coccidiosis during the course of a 42-day grow out period, which is typical for the poultry industry.
  • We believe these findings will facilitate and expand dialogues with potential partners in the agriculture and animal health industries,” said John Payne, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of ZIVO Bioscience.

Additionally, birds fed diets with MrFeed appeared to have significantly healthier internal organs at the conclusion of the trial.

Key Points: 
  • Additionally, birds fed diets with MrFeed appeared to have significantly healthier internal organs at the conclusion of the trial.
  • The trial included four groups of 4-pound broiler chickens, in which three groups were fed diets that included MrFeed Pro50 C, a functional feed ingredient designed for poultry diets.
  • The trial was designed to study growth performance including average weight and feed conversion ratio (FCR).
  • Menon Renewable Products, Inc. (Menon) was founded in 2013 by Dr. Suresh Menon and is based in San Diego, CA.

In addition, the study found that producers can significantly reduce the amount of fishmeal used in shrimp diets, an international goal in aquaculture.

Key Points: 
  • In addition, the study found that producers can significantly reduce the amount of fishmeal used in shrimp diets, an international goal in aquaculture.
  • At harvest, shrimp were collected and measured for survival, average body weight, and feed conversion ratio (FCR), which together allow for the evaluation of overall economic performance.
  • The results of this study were conclusive that MrFeed is not only a viable option for replacement of fishmeal, but a superior animal feed ingredient altogether.
  • By utilizing agricultural and related by-products, MrFeed reduces environmental pressure caused by overuse of unsustainable animal feed ingredients (such as fish meal).
