Lolot (Piper sarmentosum) is a medicinal herb from the Piperaceae family used in folk medicine and in many Southeast Asian cuisines. The leaves are used in traditional Asian medicine. It is thought to have many biological functions such as antioxidant, analgesic, anti-microbial, and anti-inflammatory activities.
A handful of research studies show supplementing lolot extract to the diet of chickens may be of benefit for chickens with coccidiosis.
