Abstract

A Bacillus subtilus probiotic was tested using a total of 52 sows and 516 baby pigs to determine the effect on enteric colibacillosis control and on host bacterial population. The probiotic did not affect sow or baby pig performance nor influence host bacterial populations of the digestive tract.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November 15, 1984
