Abstract

This invention provides a feed, nutritional supplement containing Taiwanese quinoa shells, and its use in the prevention or treatment of coccidiosis. Given that Taiwanese quinoa shells are rich in saponins and polyphenolic compounds, this invention utilizes them as agricultural waste to provide a feed or nutritional supplement that can prevent or treat coccidiosis in chickens in the same way as commercially available coccidiosis medications. Furthermore, this provides an option for antibiotic-free or antibiotic-free farming methods.
