Current Status of the Preharvest Application of Pro- and Prebiotics to Farm Animals to Enhance the Microbial Safety of Animal Products

Abstract: The selection of microorganisms that act as probiotics and feed additives that act as prebiotics is an ongoing research effort, but a sizable range of commercial pro-, pre- and synbiotic (combining pro- and prebiotics) products are already available and being used on farms. A survey of the composition of commercial products available in the United States revealed that Lactobacillus acidophilus, Enterococcus faecium, and Bacillus subtilis were the three most common species in probiotic products. Of the nearly 1… Show more

“…Bacillus subtilis, as one of the three most common species of probiotic products used in the United States [37,45], has been widely used in functional feed supplements, such as in several dairy and non-dairy fermented foods, for improving human health and well-being [46]. Similarly, Bacillus subtilis has been used as a probiotic with multiple functions in poultry [141].…”

“…Generally, probiotics confer a health benefit to chickens due to their positive effects on microbiota composition (restoring microbial homeostasis), mucosal barrier integrity (reducing gut permeability), and immune response (reducing inflammation). Bacillus subtilis is one of the most common bacterial species used in commercial probiotic products for farm animal production [37,38], including in poultry [39][40][41].…”

“…It is unknown if Pseudomonas is safe for human consumption. In contrast, B. subtilis bacteria are not known to be pathogenic; in fact, B. subtilis have been used as probiotics that are beneficial to human health (Khatri et al, 2016;Tompkins et al, 2010) and microbial safety of animal products (Joerger and Ganguly, 2017).…”

“…The main concerns regarding the safety of Bacillus strains are associated with their potential production of enterotoxins, the transfer of antibiotic-resistance genes and cytotoxicity against normal cells; two species of Bacillus, namely B. anthracis and B. cereus, are known as pathogens for humans (Cutting, 2011). The safety of the Bacillus species in livestock has been extensively reviewed elsewhere (SCAN, 2000;Joerger and Ganguly, 2017). In livestock, the main concerns are for B. cereus and B. licheniformis since they have been associated with an increase in mastitis in cattle and occasionally associated with bovine toxemia and abortions, respectively (Johnson et al, 1994;Parkinson et al, 1999).…”
