Caused by protozoan parasites, Coccidiosis is one of the most common and economically important diseases affecting poultry
the world over. Sudhakarbhai and Jeevalbhai, two herbal healers from Dang and Jamunaben from Navsari, have developed herbal formulations using local herbs to address this problem.

The formulation was evaluated by Matrix Biosciences Pvt. Ltd., Hyderabad. The results were highly promising and the technology was licensed as “Coccicure” to Matrix Biosciences.

Jamunaben, Sudhakarbhai and Jeevalbhai use another local herb to reduce stress and boost immunity in poultry.

The testing of the formulation was done by Matrix Biosciences Pvt. Ltd., Hyderabad for evaluating the efficacy of crude herbal drug as a growth  romoter and in the prevention and relief of stress in poultry. The results indicated that this specific formulation possessed both preventive and curative properties against stress. This technology has been transferred to Matrix Biosciences and is licensed under the trade name “Poultmax”.
