Nice one OP, your post is very educative, I have a bitteekeaf tree that I planted in my house, I do nothing with it except cut a few leaves to cook with every once in a while. Reading through your post, I made up my mind to do more.

But you didn't state how best to take it. Do we wash how many times and drink the water, the first wash water or second, and what quantity and how often?

As Christmas draws near, i know we have lots of novice poultry farmers here!

If your birds are passing brownish or bloody watery feaces (coccidiosis), boil bitter leaves in water and allow it to cool. Serve your birds!

In summary bitter leaf works like magic in the treatment of coccidiosis in poultry!!!
