Description

Mireille Tuedom Chouegouong and co-authors tested a plant extract mix against a gut disease of rabbits, in a 2026 study. The disease, caused by harmful Escherichia coli strains, hits young rabbits hard at weaning, and drug-resistant germs blunt the usual antibiotics. The mix joins water extracts of guava leaves and a second plant, Tithonia diversifolia.

Thirty rabbits were split into six groups, from healthy controls to infected ones given the extract at two doses. Blood tests, organ checks, and tissue slides tracked how the sick rabbits recovered. The authors report that the extract improved body balance and kept the gut wall intact, pointing to plant care as a farm option.
