Probiotics (or direct fed microbials) are becoming increasingly popular as one of the alter­natives to Antibiotic Growth Promoters (AGP). The most important objectives for using probi­otics in animal feed are to maintain and improve the performance (productivity and growth) of the animal and prevent and control enteric pathogens. In the context of the growing con­cern with the sub-therapeutic use of AGP in animal feed and greater appreciation of the role of the microbial ecology of the gastro-intestinal tract (GIT) in determining animal productivity, increasing numbers of probiotic products are being developed and used in animal nutrition.

V STHIRAA BIOSCIENCE offers high quality, species specific microbial cultures and Customized blends for Poultry, Cattle and Aquaculture applications.
