Potentials of probiotics B. subtilis RX7 and B. methylotrophicus C14 strains as an alternative to antibiotics in Salmonella challenged weaning pigs

An abstract of a study by Upadhaya et al evaluating the potential of locally isolated probiotics in a Salmonella challenge model is presented. The supplementation of probiotics increased (P < 0.05) fecal Lactobacillus counts (7.49, 7.46 vs. 7.39 log 10 cfu/g) and decreased (P < 0.05) Salmonell...

Description
Summary:An abstract of a study by Upadhaya et al evaluating the potential of locally isolated probiotics in a Salmonella challenge model is presented. The supplementation of probiotics increased (P < 0.05) fecal Lactobacillus counts (7.49, 7.46 vs. 7.39 log 10 cfu/g) and decreased (P < 0.05) Salmonella counts (3.57, 3.69 vs. 3.87 log 10 cfu/g) in piglets after 12 h of challenge. Thus, the locally isolated Bacillus strain has a potentiality of being used as probiotics.
