Efficient microorganisms with probiotic effect, an alternative in swine health

Abstract

Use of microorganisms with probiotic capacity nowadays tends to be established in different systems of animal production throughout the world. The improvement in bioproductive behaviour when using probiotics in animal production depends not only on the production stage, but also on the selection of the strains used and the method of administration. Because the demand of international markets are products (meat, milk and eggs) healthy and that these do not directly or indirectly affect the health of man when consumed. In this review, we summarize some positive effects of microorganisms with probiotic capacity in the different categories of pigs at the production level. Bacteria and yeasts with probiotic effect in pigs are beneficial for health and productive indicators; the use of these bioproducts in the future could be promising for the benefit of human and animal health.

The Effect of Feed Supplementation with EM Bokashi® Multimicrobial Probiotic Preparation on Selected Parameters of Sow Colostrum and Milk as Indicators of the Specific and Nonspecific Immune Response

“…Timmerman et al [35] showed that probiotics based on numerous strains of the same species as well as preparations composed of strains belonging to different species of microorganisms turn out to be more effective in action because they are active in many places of the intestine in relation to different target cells and show different mechanisms of action. The use of a mixture of Lactobacillus spp., Lactobacillus acidophulus, Streptococcus thermophilus, Bacillus subtilis, and Kluyveromyces fragilis L-4 uclv strains in pig nutrition reduces the occurrence of gastrointestinal diseases with symptoms of diarrhoea and has a positive effect on the production parameters [36,37]. Probiotics containing Lactobacillus spp., Bifidobacterium spp., Enterococcus spp., and Bacillus spp.…”
