“…It has been report that dietary supplementation with Bacillus, and Clostridium-based probiotics could improve growth performance (Meng et al, 2010), nutrient digestibility (Min et al, 2004), intestinal microbial balance (Kong et al, 2011;Zhang and Kim, 2014) and immunity (Yang et al, 2012; and reduce faecal noxious gas emission (Chen et al, 2005(Chen et al, , 2006. However, other studies also reported that no significant effects were observed on digestibility in nursery pigs (Xuan et al, 2001) and growing pigs (Wang et al, 2009) fed bacillus-based probiotics. The inconsistent effects of probiotics are likely influenced by the probiotic strain used, administration does and diet composition.…”

This experiment was conducted to investigate the efficacy of multistrain probiotics in weaning pigs. A total of 125 28-day-old weaning pigs [(Landrace × Yorkshire) × Duroc] with an initial average body weight (BW) of 7.26 ± 0.76 kg were randomly allotted into 5 treatments, 5 replicate pens/treatment with 5 pigs/pen for 42-day experiment. Dietary treatments were as follows: CON, basal diet; PC1, CON + 0.01% multistrain probiotics; PC2, CON + 0.03% multistrain probiotics; PC3, CON + 0.06% multistrain probiotics; PC4, CON + 0.1% multistrain probiotics. On day 14, pigs fed the PC4 diet had higher BW gain than pigs fed the CON diet. On day 42, pigs fed multistrain probiotics supplementation diets had higher BW gain than pigs fed the CON diet. From days 1 to 14, pigs fed the PC2, PC3 and PC4 diets had higher (p < 0.05) ADG than pigs fed the CON diet. From day 15 to 42, pigs fed the multistrain probiotics supplementation diets had higher (p < 0.05) average daily gain (ADG) and gain: feed ratio (G:F) than pigs fed the CON diet. In the overall period, pigs fed the multistrain probiotics supplementation diets had higher (p < 0.05) ADG and pigs fed the PC2 and PC4 diets had higher (p < 0.05) G:F than pigs fed the CON diet. On day 42, pigs fed the PC4 diet had higher (p < 0.05) apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of dry matter (DM), nitrogen (N) and gross energy (GE), faecal Lactobacillus counts and lower (p < 0.05) E. coli counts and NH emission than pigs fed the CON diet. Pigs fed the multistrain probiotics supplementation diets had lower (p < 0.05) H S and total mercaptans emissions than pigs fed the CON diet. Conclusions, dietary supplementation with 0.1% probiotics improved growth performance, nutrition digestibility and intestinal microflora balance and decreased faecal noxious gas emissions in weaning pigs.

“…The supplementation of multi-strain microbes in diet has shown higher body final weight gain, body weight gain and average daily gain compared to the two-strain microbial. Some studies reported that feeding probiotics improved average daily gain, average daily feed intake and feed conversion in young pigs [11,12,[24][25][26][27][28]. Other studies, however, did not find positive effects of probiotics in weanling piglets [29,30].…”

“…Several studies showed that multi-strain probiotics had more effect on growth of the host animal when compared to onestrain probiotics [5][6][7][8]. Non-digestible oligosaccharides (NDO) can be regarded as prebiotics because there are available as substrates for the gastrointestinal microflora [9][10][11] and probiotics can be characterized as live microbial feed supplements which beneficially affect the host by improving its intestinal microbial balance [12,13].…”

“…Moreover, synbiotics groups decreased E. coli compared with the antibiotics group. Probiotics made from microflora designed to improve the balance of intestinal bacteria (Fuller 1989) can be substituted for antibiotics to prevent certain diseases (Xuan et al 2001). The main effects of probiotics include decreasing enteropathogenic bacteria by changing the intestinal bacteria colony (Hill et al 1970), increasing antibiotic production (Shahani et al 1976) and protecting bacteria colony production in the digestive intestinal wall (Muralidhara et al 1977).…”

We investigated the effect of probiotics from anaerobic microflora with prebiotics (synbiotics) on growth performance, noxious gas emission and fecal pathogenic bacteria populations in growing pigs. The basal diet, which contained approximately 25% corn, 24% whey, 12% wheat and 12% soybean meal, was supplemented alternatively with 0.15% antibiotics (US diet), prebiotics and 0.2% probiotics from anaerobic bacteria (BS diet), yeast (YS diet), mold (MS diet) or compounds (CS diet). One hundred and fifty pigs were fed an experimental diet for 15 days. Although the growth performance was not affected by supplemental synbiotics, the BS group showed higher dry matter and crude protein digestibility. The BS group decreased fecal ammonia and amine gas emissions, and increased fecal acetate gas emission compared with the US group. All synbiotics groups decreased in fecal propionate gas emission. Fecal Escherichia coli population was lower in the synbiotics groups than in the US group. Therefore, the results of the present study suggest that synbiotics exert similar effects with antibiotics on the nutrient digestibility and fecal microflora composition in growing pigs. Moreover, synbiotics can also decrease the fecal noxious gas emission in growing pigs.
