A new publication on new type of probiotics for newborn piglets has been published. This study is based on observations that gut microbiota of nursed piglets is dominated by bacterial species from genus Bacteroides. This is why we prepared a mixtures of 4 different species belonging to this genus and used it for oral administration to newborn piglets within first 12 hours after birth. The mixture affected developmenta of gut microbiota and was of overlall positive effect onn health status of treated piglets. Using such intervention we only sped up the process of gut colonisation in newborn piglets and set up all piglets in a litter to the same starting line, i.e. we did not introduce to the production nothing different from natural processes. Currently we develop this approach furthet so that we should be able to introduce a novel type of probiotic veterinary product to common market in 2026.
