(1) KEEGO HARBOR, MI / ACCESSWIRE / January 11, 2021 / ZIVO Bioscience, Inc. (OTCQB:ZIVO) a biotech/agtech R&D company engaged in the development and commercialization of therapeutic/additive product candidates originally derived from proprietary algal cultures, announces today that in its recent analysis of two poultry studies performed at separate research facilities, ZIVO product candidates provided statistically significant feed conversion benefits in healthy broiler flocks exposed to pathogens present in litter from previous flocks, emulating exposure that may occur in a typical broiler production environment. ZIVO has been developing a product candidate designed to boost immune response and combatting a broad range of infective pathogens, with the goal of improving feed conversion and productivity to provide cost-savings for poultry producers. In the first of the studies, the ZIVO product candidate mixed with corn/soy rations improved growth performance compared to the control group, as shown by a greater than .05-point decrease in Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) over the 42-day grow-out period - an improvement in growth efficiency of more than 3%. A similar improvement of .04 points was observed in the second study.
