“…Consequently, the results in our study indicate that fecal microflora is closely related to the production performance in weanling pigs. Fermented fish meal reduces the populations of S. enterica and E. coli by creating gut micro-ecological conditions that suppress harmful microorganisms or favor beneficial microorganisms, as previously suggested by Lee et al (2014). Our results support the findings of Noh et al (2014), who indicated that diets supplemented with 5.0% citrus pulp, fish byproduct, and B. subtilis fermentation biomass have the potential to improve fecal microflora of weanling pigs.…”

-This study was conducted to estimate the effect of dietary supplementation with fermented fish meal on growth performance, blood metabolites, and fecal microflora in weaning pigs. A total of 180 weaned pigs ((Landrace × Yorkshire) × Duroc; with average body weight of 6.0 kg) were randomly distributed among three dietary treatments (0, 0.2, and 0.5% fermented fish meal) in three replicate pens (20 heads per pen) in a completely randomized trial over three weeks. Addition of fermented fish meal to weanling pig diets had a linear effect on average feed intake and a quadratic trend on final body weight, average daily gain, and gain:feed ratio throughout the whole period (but not initial body weight). Hematocrit, monocyte, immunoglobulin G, and blood urea nitrogen levels responded linearly and quadratically with increasing levels of dietary fermented fish meal. Moreover, we found a linear correlation between the diets and lymphocyte and insulin levels among the different dietary treatments. In contrast, red blood cells, white blood cells, hemoglobin, insulin-like growth factor 1, and glucose levels were not affected by diets with different levels of fermented fish. During the experimental period, diets with 0.2% and 0.5% fermented fish meal showed a reduction in Salmonella enterica and Escherichia coli populations (but not E. coli populations at week 3) that were linear, quadratic, or both, compared with controls. In particular, there was a significant reduction in S. enterica population when pigs were fed 0.5% fermented fish meal over the period of 3 weeks). Dietary supplementation with 0.2% and 0.5% fermented fish meal can be used as a protein source to improve growth performance and the parameters chosen for the blood profile, which reduces harmful microorganisms in the feces of weanling pigs.

“…In poultry and pigs, B. subtilis (1.8 × 10 6 CFU g −1 diet) promoted animal growth and immune regulation (18, 26) and can also help animals resist intestinal pathogenic bacteria infection (27). In a similar study, Bacillus circulans (2 × 10 6 CFU g −1 diet) significantly enhanced the growth performance and non-specific immunity levels and disease resistance of fish (28).…”

“…Probiotics, including potentially beneficial bacteria, enter the guts of humans and other animals, where their beneficial qualities improve intestinal balance, modulate and stimulate immune function, produce inhibitory compounds, and compete for chemicals and adhesion sites (16, 17). Many studies involving both pig and poultry diets with B. subtilis led to a reduction of Clostridium and Coliforms in host guts (18, 19). As an alternative, probiotics have shown considerable promise in promoting the health and performance of rabbits (20, 21).…”

Bacillus subtilis Improves Immunity and Disease Resistance in Rabbits

Probiotics such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium have been successfully used to promote growth and prevent diseases. Previous reports have demonstrated that Bacillus subtilis (B. subtilis) was a potential probiotic for animals. In this research, 180 B. subtilis were isolated from the soil, identified, and investigated in vitro. Furthermore, five B. subtilis were selected and mixed to investigate their effect on growth performance, immune response, intestine microbiota, and disease resistance in rabbits. Rabbits with a diet of 106 CFU g−1 mixed B. subtilis exhibited the best growth performance and higher serum IgG and IgA than controls (P < 0.05). Moreover, dairy with B. subtilis can promote the balance of intestinal flora. The major proinflammatory factor and β-defensin were upregulated compared with the controls. After 7 weeks of feeding, the survival rate of the rabbits fed with B. subtilis was significantly higher than those in the control groups postinfected with Escherichia coli. At the same time, this study detected higher expression of β-defensin and reduced bacteria contents of the heart and cecal contents from the diet mixed with B. subtilis compared with the control groups. In conclusion, dietary supplementation with B. subtilis for rabbits could improve growth performance, intestinal homeostasis, and immune organ index and enhance innate immune response as well as disease resistance. These findings showed that the induction of β-defensin by B. subtilis might be an interesting new therapeutic strategy to strengthen innate defense mechanisms.
