Probiotics - living preventive medicine

Probiotics are defined as live microorganisms that may beneficially affect the host upon ingestion by improving the balance of the intestinal microflora. The dietary use of live microorganisms has a long history. Soured milks and cultured dairy products were often used therapeutically before the existence of microorganisms was recognized. The use of microorganisms in food fermentation is one of the oldest methods for producing and preserving food. Much of the world depends upon various fermented foods that are staples in the diet.

Probiotics are now generally recognized as live cultures of bacteria which, when consumed in appropriate amounts, confers health benefits to the host. They may augment the protection afforded by the indigenous flora through competitive interactions, direct antagonism of pathogens, and/or production of antimicrobial factors. Some probiotic products have been proven trials to be effective at treating specific medical conditions.

Biotiz Plus Liquid and Powder have been formulated as effective probiotic formulas which tests have been done to confirm on presence of adequate good bacteria. It provides positive impact and helps to protect against respiratory symptoms in the healthy animals particularly in poultry which is more vulnerable to these types of infections. It helps to provide an increased protective effect with length of duration of probiotics intake.

Biotiz Plus Liquid is also formulated to be suitable for use in the aquaculture such as fisheries and prawns. In aquaculture, water quality is very important in order for maintain the overall health of the animals. Biotiz Plus Liquid improves not only the quality but helps to provide a healthy environment for the animals which leads them to better well-beings.
