Proactive probiotics 🧫

🦠 In response to public concerns over antibiotic use in livestock production and the potential for antibiotic resistance, a multi-institutional team of scientists in Canada is conducting research aimed at replacing antibiotics with probiotic bacteria to improve pig gut health and combat diarrhea in nursery pigs.

     • If the selected probiotics from the research can be employed, they can potentially reduce the use of antibiotics in feed and promote sustainable production. Awesome, right? To learn more about the study, click here.
