The primary functions of supplemental feeds in livestock production include promoting animal growth, elevating feed conversion efficiency, reducing production costs, enhancing disease resistance, supporting reproductive performance, improving overall production quality, and maintaining animal health.
Probiotics are mainly used to support gut health, enhance digestive and nutrient absorption capacity, regulate immune function, reduce disease incidence, and promote growth and development. In livestock farming, probiotics help balance the intestinal microbiota, suppress pathogenic bacteria, improve feed efficiency, and reduce the reliance on antibiotics. In companion animals, probiotics contribute to gastrointestinal health, helping to alleviate issues such as indigestion, diarrhea, and constipation, while also strengthening the pet’s immune response and overall resilience against disease.
