The present research was undertaken to evaluate the sensory profile and consumers' liking of functional ovine cheese containing probiotic cultures. Ovine cheese was made from ewe's milk by animals reared in extensive conditions; cheesemaking trials were performed by using rennet paste containing probiotic cells. Experimental cheeses were denoted: cheese manufactured using lamb rennet paste with...

Campylobacteriosis is the most frequent zoonotic disease in humans worldwide, and the contaminated poultry meat by Campylobacter jejuni can be considered one of the important sources of enteric infections in humans. The use of probiotics, which can help to improve the natural defense of animals against pathogenic bacteria, is an alternative and effective approach to antibiotic administration fo...

Four species of probiotic bacteria were assessed for their capacities to protect athymic bg/bg-nu/nu and euthymic bg/bg-nu/+ mice from mucosal and systemic candidiasis. Each bacterial species and Candida albicans colonized the gastrointestinal tracts of both strains of mice. The presence of probiotic bacteria (Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus reuteri, Lactobacillus casei GG, or Bifidoba...

Aim The purpose of this study was to know the production performance and economic analysis in quail which use probiotic supplementation to alternate antibiotic growth promoter (AGP) to feed consumption, water consumption, egg production, egg mass, feed conversion, and feed efficiency. Materials and Methods About 240 quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica) at 14 weeks of age were completely random...

Wild species of Bacillus spore formers were selectively isolated from various sources like Dry spices, Milk, Soil, Intestine of pig and Chicken .Probiotic potential of isolates were studied on the basis of non hemolysis, non lecithinase activity ,acid bile tolerance, resistance to artificial gastric and intestinal fluids and antagonistic action towards enteric pathogens such as Salmonella typhi...

A feeding trial was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary supplementations of synbiotic and probiotic on broiler performance, carcass yield, organs weights, and histomorphological measurements of small intestine. Six hundred 1-d-old broiler chicks were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 dietary treatments for 5 wk. The dietary treatments were 1) control, 2) basal diets supplemented with synb...

probiotics are live microorganisms with beneficial health effects on host animals which exert their effects on performance, gastrointestinal tract and immune system. various probiotic products are available in the market. this study compared the effects of various probiotic products on broiler performance, intestinal morphology and some immunological and hematological parameters. five probiotic...

Oral infections caused by microorganisms have led to increased risk of oral health problems such as Dental Caries (DC), periodontitis and Oral Candidiasis (OC). Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans are the primary organisms responsible for DC and OC, respectively. The goal of the presented study was to investigate the potential of probiotics to prevent and treat DC and OC. An in vitro assa...

BACKGROUND The role of probiotics in allergy prevention remains uncertain but has been shown in some studies to have a possible protective effect on eczema. OBJECTIVE We aimed to assess the effect of probiotic supplementation in the first 6 months of life on eczema and allergic sensitization at 1 year of age in Asian infants at risk of allergic disease. METHODS A double-blind, placebo-contr...
