“…Recently, lactic acid fermented feeds are suggested as alternatives. Lactic acid fermented feeds have made up a significant part of nutrition in animals (Demecková et al, 2002;Van Winsen et al, 2002). Some strains of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) administered orally during first few days of life have shown beneficial effects on the growth of rats (Hargrove and Alford, 1978) and pigs (Underdahl et al, 1982).…”

“…The reduced Enterobacteriaceae numbers in fermented feeds was accompanied by the increased number of LAB. These effects were related to low faecal pH (Urlings et al, 1993;Demecková et al, 2002;Van Winsen et al, 2002), but the correlation relationships were not determined. Various fermented diets can be prepared by either direct microbial inoculation in raw food materials or milk based source (Hólund, 1993).…”

Fermented products (FP), a mixed product of raw fish, sea weed, rice bran, sugar cane juice, were obtained in a process of fermentation using combination of cultures of lactic acid bacteria (LAB). The objectives of this study were to assess the effects of diets with different levels of FP on performance, faecal pH, Enterobacteriaceae and LAB counts and their relationships, and plasma cholesterol concentration in rats. A total of 24 Sprague Dawley (10 weeks of age) female rats were assigned individually into three groups of 8 rats per treatment. The three dietary treatments were: 1. control diet (basal diet), 2. basal diet + 10% FP and 3. basal diet + 20% FP. The final liveweight, growth rate, total feed intake and feed conversion ratio were not significantly different for all the treatment groups. Addition of FP to the diets reduced the Enterobacteriaceae population in faeces of the rats and significantly (P<0.05) increased numbers of LAB as compared with control rats. The faecal pH in rats fed with FP was more acidic than in rats fed with basal diet. The correlation analyses between LAB counts and Enterobacteriaceae counts, LAB counts and faecal pH and Enterobacteriaceae counts and faecal pH, suggest that FP provides an acidic environment, which encourages the growth of LAB and then leads to the inhibition of Enterobacteriaceae growth. The plasma cholesterol concentrations for rats fed with FP were significantly lower than that of control rats.

“…With regard to FLD, it has been reported that colostrum from FLD-fed sows showed greater mitogenic activity compared with that from dry feed-fed sows, and improved the health status of their piglets via the colostrum (Demeckova et al, 2002); however, the direct immunomodulatory effects of fermented liquid feed have not been well studied. The present study investigated the influence of feeding FLD, prepared with LQ80, on the humoral and cell-mediated immune responses of weaning pigs.…”

Probiotics such as lactic acid bacteria directly influence the host's health and have beneficial effects such as decreasing the number of enteric pathogens, regulating intestinal immune responses and preventing diseases. Among domestic animals, probiotics have been expected to be an alternative to antibiotics added in the diet; and fermented liquid diet (FLD) containing probiotics has great potential as a diet for reducing the use of antibiotics. In this study, we evaluated the immunomodulatory effects of FLD, prepared using Lactobacillus plantarum LQ80 (LQ80), on the immune response of weaning pigs. Ten weaning piglets were divided into two groups and were fed the FLD (n 5 5) or a non-fermented liquid diet (NFLD) (n 5 5) for 28 days. At the end of the experiment, the total immunoglobulin M (IgM) and immunoglobulin G (IgG) levels in the sera of the FLD-fed piglets were significantly higher than those of the NFLD-fed piglets ( P , 0.05). In contrast, the total immunoglobulin A (IgA) levels in the feces and saliva were not significantly affected by FLD feeding. However, the mean fecal IgA levels of FLD-fed piglets at day 28 were higher than those at 14 and 21 days ( P , 0.05). Blood cells from the FLD-fed piglets showed a low level of interferon-g secretion and mitogen-induced proliferation compared to that of the NFLD-fed piglets. Furthermore, the levels of interluekin-8 and tumor necrosis factor-a, which are proinflammatory cytokines, in the blood cells of the FLD-fed piglets were lower than those of the NFLD-fed piglets ( P , 0.05). In conclusion, the FLD used in this study could alter the immune responses of weaning piglets by stimulation of the systemic or mucosal antibody response, without unnecessary inflammatory reactions. This indicates, that the FLD feed prepared with the use of LQ80 may be a candidate feed, with regard to enhancing immune responses and preventing diseases in weaning piglets.

“…In order to monitor the inoculated strains, they were marked by antibiotic resistance for distinguishing them from strains present in the gut (Demecková et al 2002). The antibiotic resistance of LAB of the inoculum was obtained by successive cultures in Lactobacillus Anaerobic MRS with vancomycin and bromocresol (LAMVAB) medium (Hartemink et al 1997) from low concentrations up to a concentration of 10 µg.ml -1 of rifampicin (Demecková et al 2002).…”

A similar procedure was used with the strain S. Dublin DSPV 595T using xylose, lysine, desoxicolate (XLD) medium and the antibiotics novobiocin (50 µg/ ml) and nalidixic acid (10 µg/ml) (XLD nov/nal ) (Oyofo et al 1989).…”
