Probiotics

An alternative to antibiotics

Abstract

While much research still remains to be done on probiotics, the eminent possibility of a ban on antibiotics makes their use in feed no longer a topic to be ignored. Too many solid field results are accumulating when a stable microencapsulated bacteria is used. In times of stress when the correct numbers of bacteria are added, positive results are assured.

Care must be taken however to insure the product being used is indeed a stable microorganism. Only then can valid conclusions be drawn.
