Bacillus licheniformis: a versatile probiotic from intestinal protection

1、 The guardian of gut microbiota

      Inhibiting the proliferation of harmful bacteria: After entering the intestine, Bacillus licheniformis germinates in the form of spores and consumes oxygen, creating an anaerobic environment that promotes the growth of anaerobic bacteria such as lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria. At the same time, it directly inhibits the colonization of harmful bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Salmonella by secreting antimicrobial peptides (such as bacteriocins) and organic acids (such as acetic acid and propionic acid).

▶  Application scenarios: Diarrhea during the weaning period of livestock and poultry, and digestive disorders in pets (such as soft stools in dogs and cats), can reduce diarrhea by 30% -50%.

      Enhance digestion and absorption: secrete various digestive enzymes such as protease, amylase, lipase, etc., decompose large molecule nutrients (such as protein and starch) in feed, and improve feed utilization efficiency.

▶  Data support: In broiler farming, adding Bacillus licheniformis can reduce the feed to meat ratio by 0.05-0.1 and increase growth rate by 10%.

2、 Environmental Purifier for Livestock Industry

Degradation of pollutants, improvement of water quality/aquaculture environment:

      Aquaculture: By decomposing organic matter (such as residual feed and feces) in water bodies, reducing the levels of ammonia nitrogen and nitrite, and preventing water quality deterioration. For example, in shrimp farming, regularly spraying Bacillus licheniformis can reduce the concentration of ammonia nitrogen in water by 40% -60%.

      Livestock and poultry breeding: reduce the emission of harmful gases such as ammonia and hydrogen sulfide in feces, improve the air quality in enclosures, and reduce the risk of respiratory diseases.

      Restoration of soil ecology: As a microbial agent used in agriculture, it can decompose residual pesticides and heavy metals in soil, while promoting the formation of soil aggregate structure and improving fertility.

3、 The "activator" of immunity

      Enhancing intestinal immune barrier: Its cell wall components (such as peptidoglycan) can stimulate the activity of intestinal mucosal immune cells (such as macrophages and T cells), promote the secretion of immunoglobulin IgA, and enhance animal disease resistance.

      Anti stress effect: Under stress scenarios such as transportation, material change, and high temperature, Bacillus licheniformis can stabilize the balance of gut microbiota, reduce stress-induced diarrhea and immune decline.

4、 A versatile player in the fields of industry and environmental protection

      Food fermentation and preservation: Used for soy sauce and vinegar fermentation, it can increase the content of flavor substances (such as amino acids); In feed processing, fermentation is used to inactivate anti nutritional factors such as phytic acid.

      Raw materials for biological agents: Their secreted antimicrobial peptides can serve as natural preservatives, replacing some chemical additives; In sewage treatment, it can synergistically degrade organic pollutants with other bacterial strains.

6、 Precautions for use

      Intermittent use with antibiotics: It is necessary to administer antibiotics 2-3 hours apart to avoid the destruction of live bacteria.

      Storage conditions: Sealed and stored in a cool and dry place. Some highly active preparations need to be refrigerated.

      Strain pairing: Often used in combination with lactobacillus and yeast to form a synergistic effect (such as the combination of "Bacillus licheniformis+Lactobacillus acidophilus" can enhance intestinal colonization ability).

summarize

      Bacillus licheniformis has become one of the core strains in the fields of animal husbandry and environmental protection due to its characteristics of "acid resistance, salt resistance, and high temperature resistance" (able to tolerate high temperatures of 80 ℃ and stomach acid environment). From animal intestinal health to ecological environment improvement, its multifunctionality is driving the process of green agriculture and sustainable development.
