HIGH TECHNOLOGY FROM NATURAL SOURCES
Coccidiosis remains one of the most important diseases in the poultry industry and results in the
annual loss of millions of US dollars by the poultry industry. Vaccination and chemotherapeutic
approach are currently used to prevent and treat coccidiosis. Live attenuated vaccines are used
to prevent coccidial infection; however, the cross-species protection in coccidian vaccines is
unsatisfactory. In addition there is some concern about the side eects of drug residues in poultry
product in common preventive procedure with coccidiostatic agent.
A solution to both these problems could be the use of plant productsthat function by mechanisms
other than those of chemotherapeutics, with the additional advantage of a natural origin.
Antioxidant compounds could hold promise for the control of Eimeria infections due to the
association of coccidial infection with lipid peroxidation of the intestinal mucosa.
Thanks to our twenty-year experience on essentials oil for animal wellness and health, to our
R&D and to our worldwide university collaborations we have developed a new high technological
product able to satisfy the needs of growing up animals in a modern way.
