MiCroBial Animal Probiotics

Probiotics are defined as microbial food supplements which beneficially affect the host animal by improving its intestinal microbial balance. The probiotics will improve feed conversion for the target species, reduced morbidity or mortality and benefits for the consumer through improved product quality. A combination of probiotics with different mechanisms of action could amplify the protective range of bio-therapeutic preparations and the potentiated probiotics are more effective than their components separately. Bacterial probiotics are effective in chickens, pigs and pre-ruminant calves, whereas yeasts and fungal probiotics were given better results in adult ruminants. Probiotics able to enhance the growth of many domestic animals improved the efficacy of forage digestion and quantity and quality of milk, meat and egg. Probiotics protects animals against pathogens, enhanced immune response; reduce antibiotic use and shows high index of safety.
