Research

[edit]

Research conducted by Growell India reveals that coccidiosis burdens the livestock industry with $3 billion in annual expenses due to impaired growth rates, disease, infertility, and morbidity. Subclinical coccidiosis is often undetected by farmers, though it causes havoc on animal health and productivity. Coccidiosis is caused by Eimeria. Its life cycle completes in a week. Active "oocysts" are picked up by the bird (or other livestock) and swallowed. An "oocyst" is a capsule with a thick wall protecting the parasites. They "sporulate" and then become infective. The disease-causing oocyst is a hard and persistent structure resistant to chemical damage and degradation. They remain after treatment with diluted sodium hypochlorite or sulfuric acid. An unsporulated oocyst can survive up to seven months in fecal tissue, and a sporulated oocyst 2 years in an exogenous environment.

The oocyst must be attacked from multiple layers as it is formed of two walls: proteins and lipids. These make up its resilience. Medications used for coccidian infections are anticoccidial drugs – either coccidiostatic or coccidiocidal agents. Once they are withdrawn, the offending parasites’ life cycle continues. If the oocyst cannot sporulate, disease is halted. Coxynil can inhibit sporulation of oocysts by Interfering with male schizomy, making male schizonts infertile and then changing intestinal environment, prohibiting fertilization. Original research proves that coxynil does not let the oocysts sporulate thereby controlling coccidiosis. [8] [9]
