TROY, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ZIVO Bioscience, Inc. (OTCQB: ZIVO), a pioneering biotech/agtech R&D company dedicated to developing therapeutic, medicinal and nutritional product candidates derived from proprietary algal cultures, announces plans for a second collaborative study with the University of Delaware. This new study aims to further explore the potential applications of ZIVO’s proprietary active ingredients in mitigating the spread of Low Pathogenicity Avian Influenza (LPAI) virus among poultry.
ZIVO’s previous study with the University of Delaware demonstrated a significant reduction in viral shedding and a delay in disease transmission among treated birds. This new study is designed to further optimize formulations and treatment protocols with the goal of enhancing the efficacy of ZIVO’s proprietary active ingredients when applied to real-world poultry production environments.
Catalyzed by encouraging findings from completed studies in avian influenza and coccidiosis, ZIVO has attracted interest from several global animal health companies seeking innovative, non-antibiotic solutions to combat disease transmission. This interest underscores the opportunity for ZIVO’s proprietary algal-derived compounds to play a role in improving poultry health and productivity.
“The University of Delaware is a preeminent institution in animal science research and we look forward to continuing our collaboration to advance understanding of how our active ingredients can combat avian influenza,” said John Payne, Chairman and CEO of ZIVO Bioscience. “The interest from leading animal health companies further validates our approach and commitment to delivering sustainable, healthier solutions at cost parity to the poultry industry.”
“This newest study represents the next step in what we expect will be a series of studies to thoroughly evaluate the potential of ZIVO’s products in various avian influenza applications. By leveraging active components from our proprietary algal cultures in new indications, we aim to develop effective, natural alternatives to traditional treatments, thereby addressing the significant challenges in animal health of cost and drug resistance,” added Mr. Payne.
