Microencapsulated ProbioticsIn recent years, the term "probiotics" has become a health buzzword and there has been an explosion of equine
feed supplements adding probiotics to their product lines. What are they? Probiotics are beneficial
bacteria which favorably alter the intestinal micro-flora balance, encourage feed and ingredient utilization,
support immune function, and maintain optimal health. Micro-encapsulation is a process of enclosing the probiotics in very small sealed capsules from which the
probiotic is released slowly by body heat employing an effective means of delivering the complex micro-flora to the
digestive tract where it is best utilized. |
