probiotics are used to control or maintain a constant state of intestinal bacteria. when the bacterial populations are altered by stress or antibiotic therapy, animal health and performance may decline. this experiment was designed to study the effects of feeding a probiotic (saccharomyces cerevisiae cncm i-1079) on growth and health of neonatal holstein calves. forty –five neonatal holstein ca...

this study was carried out to evaluate the effect of probiotic (bacillus latrospores and bacillus licheniformis) on growth and survival of silver carp larvae (hypophthalmichthys molitrix). rotifers (brachionus plicatilis) were used as live prey vehicle for probiotic transport. they were cultured in sea water with 15 ppt salinity and nannochloropsis oculata microalgae was used as feed. five trea...
