Description
Probiotics in Animals is a definitive resource on the application of beneficial microorganisms in animal husbandry and veterinary medicine. This 2017 publication by Rigobelo examines how probiotics enhance gut health, improve nutrient absorption, and boost immune function in livestock and companion animals.
The book provides detailed scientific insights into the mechanisms by which probiotics work, including competitive exclusion of pathogens, production of antimicrobial compounds, and modulation of the intestinal microbiota. It covers practical applications across poultry, swine, cattle, and aquaculture, while addressing regulatory considerations and quality standards for probiotic products.
Readers will find evidence-based information on selecting appropriate probiotic strains, dosage recommendations, and measurable outcomes in animal performance and health. The text bridges academic research and practical implementation for veterinarians, animal nutritionists, and agricultural professionals.
