AI Technical Summary
Current direct-fed microbial products have lost efficacy in improving animal performance and environmental management, particularly with diets containing dried distillers grain solubles (DDGS), leading to digestive issues and negative environmental effects such as ammonia and gas production in manure pits.
The use of isolated Bacillus strains 86 and 300, which are administered through animal feed or water, to enhance digestion, reduce pathogens, and mitigate environmental impacts by breaking down difficult feed components and reducing ammonia and gas production in manure.
These strains improve feed conversion, daily gain, and health by maintaining a balanced gut microbiome, reducing disease risks, and enhancing manure quality, thereby increasing feed efficiency and reducing the need for antibiotics.
