Relationship between gut microbiota, animal health and productivity

The balance of gut microbiota is affected by environmental stressors, such as heat, overcrowding, vaccinations, and trasnportation. The care for the gut microbiota is one of the important keys for production performance.

If gut microbiota is dominated by beneficial bacteria, it can help the host maintain healthy condition and reduce putrefaction products. As a result, productive performance is improved, yielding safe and tasty product, and even environmental situation in the farms can be improved.

Bacillus subtilis, the active ingredient in CALSPORIN_®, is a spore form in the product . CALSPORIN_® is aerobic bacteria, and it will propagate where oxygen is available in animal's stomach.
Then, CALSPORIN_® consumes oxygen to make anaerobic conditions in the animal's intestinal tract.
Bifidobacterium and lactobacilli, which are both beneficial and anaerobic bacteria. Therefore, the anaerobic condition CALSPORIN_® makes inside the intestinal tract is more favorable to increase the dominance of good bacteria composition and produce acid.

CALSPORIN_® produces growth promoting factor of Bifidobacterium

Bacillus subtilis, the active ingredient in CALSPORIN_®, is an aerobic bacterium. It is not an intestinal bacterium, therefore, it does not colonize in the intestines nor does it propagate like indigenous intestinal bacteria.
When CALSPORIN_® is supplied at a single dose, they pass through the alimentary track with feces in few hours to several days. Daily supplementation of CALSPORIN_® is strongly recommended for livestock species that are constantly exposed to many and different types of stress.
