Probiotic to reduce toxins and increase milk yield in cows

There are risks of cows entering the body with feeds of pathogens and their toxins. The purpouse of the reseach was to investigate the effectiveness of feeding the probiotic AntiClos to ensure the prevention of pathogens and to reduce clostridial toxins in the digestive system and increase the dairy productivity of cows. The experiment was carried out on lactating black and variegated cows for 100 days. Analogous groups were formed as follows: control I (receiving MD) and experimental II (receiving MD and probiotic AntiClos), by 10 animals in each group. The results of quantitative PCR showed that undesirable microorganisms Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacteriaceae and Streptococcus spp were detected in the composition of silage microflora and feed mixture from the food table. The most represented were clostridia - up to 1.0½107±5.90½105 cells/g. The use of a probiotic (experimental group II) made it possible to increase, on average, the average daily milk yield of 4% fat by 8.3% over the control I (P≤0,05) and eliminate C. perfringens Cpa and etx toxins from the rumen. This indicates the effectiveness of the probiotic.
Keywords: Microbiome, rumen, pathogens, toxins, probiotic, highly productive cows.
