Kimchi Helpful in Fighting Bird Flu


By Bae Keun-min

Kimchi, a traditional pickled and fermented vegetable dish, has been found effective in curing viral diseases for fowl, including bird flu and Newcastle disease.

A local research team, led by Kang Sa-ouk, professor of microbiology at Seoul National University, said yesterday that a culture fluid of Leuconostoc Kimchii, a lactic ferment in kimchi, showed clear remedial effects for chickens suffering from bird flu, Newcastle and bronchitis.

At a poultry farm, the team experimented with three groups of 13 chickens infected with the viruses. One group was provided only with water, while the second one was given the culture fluid.

The last group was given a diluted culture fluid of Leuconostoc Kimchii.

After one week, all fowl in the first group died. However, 11 each in the second and third groups were cured from the diseases.
