Pediococcusacidilactici MA 18/5M (Bactocell~(R): anew feed additivemicro-organism administration in liquid pig feed

摘要

Effects of Pediococcus aciditactici MA 18/5M (Bactocell~(R)), used as a feed additive, are based on its capacity to produce lactic acid (L+) from a wide range of carbohydrates. Several trials were performed to study : effects of Pediococcus acidilactici MA 18/5M on liquid pig feed. zooiechnical consequences on finishing pigs. 1) Laboratory trial : effect of P.acidilactici MA 18/5M on the pH of a pig liquid feed. 2) Effects of P.acidilactici MA 18/5M, used as a feed additive (10~6 CFU/g), on E.coli K12 (inoculum : 10~4 CFU/g). Farm trial : results of microbiological analysis on liquid pig feed (ADRIA Normandie, Villers Bocage, France). Zootechnical effects on finishing pigs were tested in several farm trials. One example is given below.
