Probiotics in aquaculture are benefitting both animal and human health
Disease outbreak is a major challenge in aquaculture, and it is well known that using antibiotics leads to drug bioaccumulation in fish and the development of antibiotic resistant bacterial strains. Antibiotic-resistant bacteria and their antimicrobial resistance genes can spread from aquatic to terrestrial animal husbandry to human environments, causing detrimental effects on human, animal, and aquatic ecosystem health.
Defining probiotic, prebiotic, synbiotic and postbiotic in swine feed
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.
Discuss the commercial application prospect of Clostridium butyricum in animal husbandry industry
Clostridium butyricum is a kind of butyric-producing gram-positive anaerobic bacteria of Clostridium genus in the Bacillus genus. Clostridium butyricum is a strict anaerobic bacterium, which can fully adapt to the anaerobic environment of animal intestinal tract and regulate the balance of intestinal flora in various ways. Clostridium butyricum can produce a large amount of butyric acid in the intestine, especially in the posterior part of the intestine. Butyric acid is the energy source of intestinal cells and plays an important role in the regeneration and repair of intestinal epithelial tissue.
