Health care function of Bacillus coagulans

Due to the formation of spores, bacillus coagulans has good preservation, which overcomes the disadvantages of poor preservation of common lactic acid bacteria preparations on the market, and the number of viable bacteria decreases significantly with the extension of preservation time. Therefore, in recent years, the research on the health care effect of Bacillus coagulans is deepening. Bacillus coagulans mainly has the following health care functions:

1. Regulate animal intestinal microecological balance. At present, the microecological agents widely used in feed industry in the world mainly include lactobacillus, bifidobacterium, bacillus, yeast and their cultures. Most beneficial bacteria are aerobic bacteria in the fermentation process, and the product still consumes a lot of free oxygen when entering the intestinal tract of animals, and colonizes in the intestinal tract to reduce the REDOX potential, which is conducive to the growth of intestinal anaerobic bacteria such as lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria, so as to achieve the microecological balance of intestinal flora.

2. Promote nutrient digestion. After animal nutrition enters the body, it needs to go through a series of physical and chemical effects before it can be absorbed and utilized. Condensation bacillus on the one hand, to produce a variety of digestive enzymes, promoting digestion and absorption of nutrients, on the other hand, through the species in the animal growth, reproduction and colonization in the digestive tract and directly produce such as vitamins, amino acids and short chain fatty acids and other nutrients, and significantly increased the speed of the small intestine peristalsis, improve the intestinal digestion function.

3. Improve animal immune function and disease resistance. It has been reported that a small amount of Bacillus coagulans was added to chicken feed or ornamental animal feed to improve the disease resistance of chickens or ornamental animals, prevent infection with chicken distemper and other diseases caused by microorganisms, and improve the survival rate of chickens. In addition, tests done in the United States and other countries have confirmed that chickens that regularly eat additives containing bacillus coagulans can greatly reduce the number of bacteria such as salmonella in their chicken or eggs, thus improving the food safety level of poultry eggs. In addition, Bacillus coagulans can also reduce animal blood lipids, prevent atherosclerosis; Reduce blood glucose level and improve hypoglycemia; Improve the phagocytosis ability of animal peritoneal macrophages and enhance the phagocytosis function; Enhance animal cell activity; Accelerate the development of animal immune organs, increase the number of T and B lymphocytes, improve the level of body fluid and cellular immunity, increase animal liver, etc. In addition, it also has a good clinical effect on animal colitis.

4. Promote animal growth, reduce mortality rate and feed/gain ratio. Studies have found that regular feeding of large livestock, such as cattle and pigs, containing bacillus coagulans, can not only improve the conversion rate of cellulosic feed, but also prevent disease and shorten the storage time of large livestock. Bacillus coagulans can also replace previously widely used antibiotics such as tetracycline hydrochloride, mononin and avermectin "animal growth promoter", so as to solve the old problem of excessive antibiotic residues in livestock (poultry) meat that has plagued the breeding industry for many years. Feeding experiment also showed that adding 100 ~ 300 mg/kg Bacillus coagulans in broiler feed can increase the average daily gain of broilers by 5. About 5%, a 15. 5% reduction in mortality. 2%, the ratio of feed to gain decreased by 7%; The average body weight of growing-fattening piglets fed with the same dose of Bacillus coagulans increased by 4. 9%. Average daily gain increased by 10. 17%, decrease of feed/gain by 6. 6%
