Livestock Probiotics
Bacillus strains form spores that survive pelleting temperatures, which is why they dominate in feed probiotics.

Spore form survives feed processing
Bacillus strains form spores that survive pelleting temperatures, which is why they dominate in feed probiotics. Vegetative Lactobacillus strains are more sensitive and are dosed post-pelleting as a liquid.
Measured effect is on feed conversion
The commercial case is feed conversion ratio and reduced antibiotic use rather than a direct health claim, which is how the products are usually evaluated.
Typical Applications
- Poultry — 100-300 g per tonne of feed for gut health and litter quality.
- Swine — 200-500 g per tonne, particularly post-weaning.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it survive pelleting?
Spore formers do; vegetative strains need post-pellet application.
How is potency measured?
In CFU per gram. Ask for the assay method and the guarantee at end of shelf life.
Is it registered as a feed additive?
Check the local registration; requirements differ by market.
