Probios Feed Granules

Many studies have been done on the use of probiotics for livestock, and several benefits have been shown. Certain cultures of probiotics have been shown to exert inhibitory action toward salmonella in the intestinal tracts of  chickens. The daily use of probiotics on kids and piglets have shown results in increased growth and feed efficiency. Other studies indicate that feeding select cultures of L. acidophilus helps to increase milk yield in dairy cattle.

Probios® Feed Granules work to maintain the proper intestinal flora of your livestock, which supports healthy digestion and  the efficient assimilation of nutrients. The granules can be used on cattle, horses, sheep, pigs, and other livestock. Gastrointestinal illness is a primary concern for many livestock owners, and also one of the most expensive conditions to treat. Some of the conditions probiotics can help treat are skin and coat problems, as well as diarrhea and other digestive issues.

Feed Granules are a diverse source of live, direct fed microbials, because one microbial alone does not provide all of the desired health benefits. This supplement contains four species of naturally occurring lactic acid bacteria: three species of Lactobacillus (acidophilus, casei, and plantarum) and Enterococcus faecium. Lactobacillus acidophilus helps to improve gut absorption of nutrients and maintain proper intestinal flora. It has also been shown to help prevent yeast infections in the upper digestive tract, especially those caused by  Candida albicans. Lactobacillus casei complements the growth of Lactobacillus acidophilus and works to propagate desirable bacteria, while Lactobacillus plantarum is necessary for the production of lactic acid. Enterococcus faecium promotes intestinal well-being, and all four of theses bacteria ferment lactose into lactic acid.

Feed Granules also utilizes calcium carbonate, which is a supplement used when the amount of calcium taken in the animals' diet is not enough. Calcium is necessary for bone health and development, and it also helps to ensure the proper function of muscles and nerves. Young animals need the proper amount of calcium as their bones develop, as do adult animals, as a preventative measure against the bone loss that naturally occurs with age. Older animals require extra calcium, because as they age, bone breakdown exceeds formation, and can result in bone loss. Calcium is also beneficial for the nervous system and heart.
