Probiotics are widely used to improve health and production in farm systems involving ruminants and especially calves and goats, both in young and mature animals.
In ruminants the beneficial effects of probiotics not only come from the gut microorganisms, but also from those populating the rumen. These latter, assist in maintaining rumen pH, can increase volatile fatty acid production in the rumen (supplying energy for the animal) and can improve overall rumen efficiency. Probiotics are commonly used with young animals, including pre-ruminants. |
