Market pressures and a growing interest in sustainability are driving interest in the use of alternative (local) raw materials in swine diets. Alternatives, especially processed raw materials and co-products, tend to be higher in phytate, fibre and indigestible protein, than the parent grain or oil-seed. This reduces feed efficiency. Therefore, the use of enzymes in swine diets containing alternative raw materials can also deliver benefits for sustainability, as losses are minimized and reduced.

Probiotics are used in both human and animal nutrition for their health benefits. In animal diets, probiotics are included as feed additives to create a healthy and resilient intestinal microbial environment. Maintaining a beneficial intestinal microbial composition helps in improving the overall health of the animal and thereby positively affects body weight gain (BWG) and feed conversion ratio (FCR).

This journal provides insight as to why Bacillus subtilis is such a remarkably diverse bacterial species – capable of growth within diverse environments including the gastrointestinal tracts of animals. Though dated, the article shows that this highly diverse bacteria has always been widely used for animal husbandry and other applications.

Although the initial investment of probiotics + enzyme complex products in animals such as sheep and cattle may increase the cost for farmers, in the long run, the economic benefits it brings are obvious. This article explains why.

Expectations are growing concerning feed additives that would guarantee such results as accelerating growth rate, protection of health from pathogenic infections and improvement of other production parameters. Therefore, probiotics as an additive has become a widely popular choice for breeders.
