Environmentally-friendly methods for controlling microbial pathogenesis with probiotic bacteria are becoming increasingly preferred over repeated use of antibiotics, which can select for resistant pathogens in the environment.

 bacillus subspecies in the probiotic had rebalanced intestinal bacteria in the catfish, which improved their ability to withstand production challenges.

The gut microbiota is altered in stress-related conditions, but there are a number of other scenarios in which the gut microbiota has been implicated: within disorders like schizophrenia and autism. It has also been implicated in a variety of degenerative conditions. The most widely-studied degenerative condition in relation to the microbiota is Parkinson’s disease, but there have recently been suggestions that the gut microbiota may also be involved in addiction, particularly in relation to alcoholism.

Increasing the intake of prebiotics may boost the number of good bacteria in the gut and has the potential to promote digestibility of nutrients, support the immune system, improve mineral absorption and affect energy, and amino acid balance of the pig. However, the term "prebiotic"  rarely appears on product labels, so it may be difficult to determine whether they are present in a product. Instead, producers should look for the actual names of the prebiotics, such as galacto-oligosaccharides, fructo-oligosaccharides, oligofructose, chicory fiber or inulin in the products of interest.

Clostridium butyricum is of great value in maintaining the intestinal structural integrity of Penaeus vannamei. The mixture of Clostridium butyricum spores, viable bacteria and supernatants can be used as effective immune stimulants to produce proPO, LZM and SOD to protect shrimp from pathogens.
