Lactobacillus aids pigs' healthLactobacillus and Saccharomyces fermentation products impact performance and the fecal microbiome in weanling pigs inoculated with enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli.
Moderate relevance to treatment
We explored the effects of Lactobacillus acidophilus fermentation products on weanling pigs that were challenged with a harmful strain of bacteria known as enterotoxigenic F4 Escherichia coli (F4-ETEC). To better understand this, we conducted a detailed study involving eighty pigs, which were divided into five groups based on different diets. This included a control diet, as well as diets supplemented with various fermentation products and zinc oxide.
After inoculating the pigs with F4-ETEC to simulate infection, we observed significant changes in the pigs’ fecal microbiome when they were given a combination of Lactobacillus and Saccharomyces products. These changes in the microbiome were previously linked to better growth performance and overall health in young pigs.
Interestingly, the pigs receiving both Lactobacillus acidophilus and Saccharomyces cerevisiae products showed an increase in final live weight. This suggests that using these postbiotics could help manage performance issues associated with ETEC without needing to eliminate the bacteria entirely from the pigs' environment. Therefore, while Lactobacillus acidophilus was not the sole hero in this study, its combined use proved beneficial in combatting the negative effects of this bacterial challenge.

Consistent health improvement
I've taken these probiotics for over five years, and they have drastically reduced my susceptibility to colds and infections, including bacterial ones. The 90 billion cell count version seems to work best for me, helping to maintain the balance of bacteria crucial for my immune function. It took time, but these probiotics are now an essential part of my health routine, keeping infections away effectively.

After a week in hospital and multiple antibiotics, I found myself plagued by cycles of infections. A friend recommended this probiotics brand, and while it’s vital to ensure proper refrigeration, I felt relief from my gut issues. I opted for a cheaper product at first, but this probiotic showed promise, despite concerns about how it's stored. I’m experiencing improved digestion as I use it daily, and I’ll be investing in refrigerated options from now on.
