The effect of fermented feed on the intestinal biocenosis of piglets

Abstract

By the thirtieth day of life in the feces of piglets, whose mothers and they themselves received biofermented microbiological starter culture of Lesnov compound feed, a significantly higher content of beneficial microflora was found: bifidobacteria, lactobacilli, enterococcus, escherichia in comparison with animals receiving standard compound feed, which indicates a faster quantitative and qualitative formation of obligate microflora. A high quantitative level of normal microflora prevents the reproduction of opportunistic microorganisms in the intestines of young animals and protects piglets from nonspecific gastroenteritis.
