| probiotic |
Probiotic is non-pathogenic bacterium fed to animals, including birds, as a way to prevent colonization by pathogenic bacteria (Roudybush, 1994). The basic concept is to encourage a non-pathogenic bacterium to colonize muscosal surfaces as a way of blocking colonization by serious pathogens. Lactobacillus is perhaps the most commonly studied as a probiotic in people, and data indicate it is efficacious. A probiotic, usually a bacillus, is often included in the commercial hand-feeding formulas.
