Probiotic Supplement Improves the Health Status and Lactation Performance in Dairy Animals

Abstract

Probiotics are essential for the effective growth of beneficial bacteria present in enteric line. They help in the physiological functions of newborn calves that are highly susceptible to a variety of fatal syndromes. The criterion for the selection of strains for the design of probiotic products are based on retaining functional health characteristics. Samples from Nili-Ravi buffaloes were collected, and rumen strains are identified for probiotic product. Microscopic techniques with different biochemical tests and molecular techniques such as BLAST have performed for identification. Following species of Weisella has been identified based on genotypic analysis (16S rRNA) under accession number MK336765 (F2) and MK336779 (F4) in the NCBI GenBanK. The strains sharing some of the specific properties evaluated were identified genetically, and their compatibility and exopolysaccharide production were assayed. All of this will be helpful in the production of multi-stainprobiotic product for the nourishment of dairy calves.

Separate and Synergic Effects of Lactobacillus uvarum LUHSS245 and Arabinogalactan on the In Vitro Antimicrobial Properties as Well as on the Fecal and Metabolic Profile of Newborn Calves

“…The tested strain showed the highest growth at 30 • C and 37 • C, and was not detected at 45 • C. The normal temperature of the gastrointestinal tract is in the range of 39-39.5 • C [23], but did not increase to the temperatures where LUHS245 cannot survive and multiply in the gut. The tested strains showed no gas production (Table 1).…”
