This $175,000 Project Grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program supports Kainomyx Inc.'s research and development efforts to combat coccidiosis, a highly prevalent and economically damaging parasitic disease affecting livestock, particularly poultry. Using a target-based drug discovery approach, Kainomyx aims to identify, screen, and develop new non-antibiotic treatments to effectively disable or kill the causative parasites without harming the host animals. The grant, with a performance period from September 2024 to May 2025, will enable Kainomyx to advance this innovative therapeutic solution that can help improve animal health, food safety, and productivity in the livestock farming industry.
