Research: Probiotics and direct fed microbials in poultry

Combined American/Argentinean research looked at the effects of using probiotics/direct fed microbials for salmonella control in poultry. In this paper the researchers summarise the safety and efficacy of individual monocultures for prophylactic and/or therapeutic efficacy against Salmonella infections under both laboratory and field conditions.

They also describe the development of novel, cost-effective, feed-stable direct fed microbials (DFM) with potential for widespread utilisation and improved production, delivery and clinical efficacy for animal use. Bacterial antimicrobial resistance in both the medical and agricultural fields has become a serious problem worldwide. Read more ...
