ZIVO Nutritional Efficacy Study for Poultry is Successful, Confirms Production Methods and Health Benefits
KEEGO HARBOR, MI / ACCESSWIRE / December 19, 2018 / ZIVO Bioscience, Inc. (OTCQB: ZIVO) a biotech/agtech R&D company engaged in the commercialization of nutritional products derived from its proprietary algal strains, announces today that preliminary data analysis from its most recent poultry nutritional efficacy study show positive results that confirm the successes of previous poultry efficacy studies conducted in partnership with NutriQuest, a global innovator in animal nutrition.
The 5,000-bird study, supervised by ZIVO Bioscience and conducted at a Maryland-based contract research organization, confirms that pelleted feed containing ZIVO algal biomass consumed in sufficient quantity results in birds exhibiting improved health indicators.
The study further confirms that production and manufacturing methods developed by ZIVO and its research partners provide for a heat-stable, easily-processed feed ingredient that can withstand the pelleting process used in modern poultry feed manufacturing, while maintaining a nutritional profile that supports animal health. The preliminary results were reviewed by an independent academic researcher and NutriQuest animal nutrition experts prior to this announcement.
NutriQuest and ZIVO are moving in unison to conduct several econometric studies to set pricing and finalize feeding recommendations for the ZIVO feed ingredient, while ZIVO moves forward unilaterally with the poultry GRAS affirmation process, after which commercial sales can commence.
Simultaneously, ZIVO principals are actively recruiting and onboarding contract algal growers to meet anticipated demand for its dried algal biomass, granting production agreements to established growers that can meet the Company's quality and safety standards, and integrating these growers into the US agricultural import and food safety programs.
