Benefits and Inputs From Lactic Acid Bacteria and Their Bacteriocins as Alternatives to Antibiotic Growth Promoters During Food-Animal Production

Resistance to antibiotics is escalating and threatening humans and animals worldwide. Different countries have legislated or promoted the ban of antibiotics as growth promoters in livestock and aquaculture to reduce this phenomenon. Therefore, to improve animal growth and reproduction performance and to control multiple bacterial infections, there is a potential to use probiotics as non-antibiotic growth promoters. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) offer various advantages as potential probiotics and can be considered as alternatives to antibiotics during food-animal production. LAB are safe microorganisms with abilities to produce different inhibitory compounds such as bacteriocins, organic acids as lactic acid, hydrogen peroxide, diacetyl, and carbon dioxide. LAB can inhibit harmful microorganisms with their arsenal, or through competitive exclusion mechanism based on competition for binding sites and nutrients. LAB endowed with specific enzymatic functions (amylase, protease…) can improve nutrients acquisition as well as animal immune system stimulation. This review aimed at underlining the benefits and inputs from LAB as potential alternatives to antibiotics in poultry, pigs, ruminants, and aquaculture production.

“…Beneficial effects of probiotics highly depend on species-and strain-specific, tolerance and adhesion in gastrointestinal tract (Corona-Hernandez et al, 2013). Lactic acid bacteria, such as Enterococcus faecalis, play an important role in intestinal tract by modulating gut microflora of animals (Han et al, 2018;Wang et al, 2018). However, lactic acid bacteria are very sensitive to the external environment, such as feed process, storage, and gastrointestinal tract of animal (Corona-Hernandez, Alvarez-Parrilla, Lizardi-Mendoza, Islas-Rubio, & de la Rosa, 2013;Prakash, Tomaro-Duchesneau, Saha, & Cantor, 2011).…”

In this study, a total of 180 one-day-old male Arbor Acres broilers were randomly allotted to 5 groups with 6 replicates per group. Birds in negative control group were fed a corn-soybean mealbased diet, and birds in positive control group, MEF group, COSE group, MEF + COSE group were challenged with E. coli K88 and supplemented with 0, 1 × 10 10 cfu MEF/kg of diets, 500 mg COSE/ kg of diets or their combinations, respectively. Results showed that PC group had lower average body weight and greater E. coli counts in caecal contents than NC group. MEF and COSE significantly increased average body weight, serum IgA level, T-SOD activity compared with that of PC group. MEF and MIX group had less caecal E. coli counts than PC birds. The results indicated dietary supplementation of MEF and COSE had a positive moderating effect on E. coli K88-challenged broiler chickens.

“…In recent years, some studies showed that combined use of probiotics could promote growth performance in animals [ 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 ]. However, some research showed that combined use of probiotics exerted no significant effect on growth performance [ 39 ]. Our results found that compared with control, the effect of C. butyricum Sx-01, L. salivarius C-1-3, and their combined use on the growth performance of mice was not significant, but the average daily gain and feed utilisation showed an increasing trend.…”

The study was conducted to investigate whether combined use of C. butyricum Sx-01 and L. salivarius C-1-3 could improve the intestinal health and reduce the lipid levels in sera of mice and whether these benefits were related to regulating the intestinal microflora. Eighty Kunming male mice were divided into four groups with five replicates per group and four mice per replicate. Mice in the control group were administrated with 0.2 mL normal saline; mice in three experimental groups were daily orally administrated with 4 × 108 cfu of L. salivarius, 4 × 108 cfu of C. butyricum, and a combination thereof (2 × 108 cfu of L. salivarius, and 2 × 108 cfu of C. butyricum), respectively. The experiment lasted for 14 days. The results showed that the average daily feed intake (ADFI) and feed/gain (F/G) ratio of growing mice underwent no significant changes (p > 0.05); however, the average daily gain (ADG) tended to increase over short periods of time. The activities of SOD and GSH-Px in serum in the combination group were significantly increased (p < 0.05); The triglyceride, and total cholesterol, contents in serum in the combined treatment group were significantly decreased (p < 0.05); The total volatile fatty acids and butyric acid in faecal matter of mice in the experimental groups were all significantly increased at 14 days (p < 0.05); The length of villi, and the mucosal thickness of colon and caecum (p < 0.05) were significantly improved; The relative abundance of some bacteria with antioxidant capacity or decomposing cholesterol capacity or butyrate producing capacity was increased, while the relative abundance of some pathogenic bacteria was decreased in the colon. Furthermore, our results showed that the beneficial effects of the combined use of the two strains was higher than that of single use. Overall, the results demonstrated that the combined use of C. butyricum Sx-01 and L. salivarius C-1-3 can significantly improve intestinal health and reduce the amount of lipids in sera of mice. The reason for these effects might be that besides their own probiotic effects, combined use of the two strains could regulate the intestinal microflora.
