This invention discloses the application of a porcine-derived Bacillus in
antioxidant activity, wherein the porcine-derived Bacillus is used to prepare
antioxidant products. The porcine-derived Bacillus is
Bacillus subtilis YB-X-721, classified as
Bacillus subtilis, and was deposited at the China General
Microbiological Culture Collection Center on November 10, 2023, with accession number CGMCC No. 28942. The
fermentation supernatant, bacterial suspension, and
cell-free extract of the porcine-derived
Bacillus subtilis YB-X-721 of this invention all possess certain
DPPH free radical,
superoxide anion free radical, and hydroxyl free radical
scavenging abilities, as well as a certain reducing ability, and can be used to prepare
antioxidant products. Furthermore, when the porcine-derived Bacillus subtilis YB-X-721 of this invention is added to piglet feed as an
animal feed additive, it can improve the growth performance of
weaned piglets, significantly increasing average daily
weight gain, and significantly reducing average daily feed intake,
feed conversion ratio, and
diarrhea rate.
