Bifidobacterium bifidum - Feed Ingredient

Bifidobacterium bifidum is a species of beneficial, anaerobic bacteria commonly used as a probiotic in human and animal nutrition. It is naturally found in the gastrointestinal tract of mammals and is known for its role in maintaining microbial balance, supporting gut health, and aiding in digestion.

In equine feed and supplement formulations, B. bifidum is typically included in dried, microencapsulated, or freeze-dried form to ensure viability through processing and passage through the digestive system. As a probiotic, it is not a source of nutrients but is used to promote a stable intestinal environment, support hindgut microbial populations, and help mitigate digestive disturbances related to stress, dietary changes, or antibiotic use.
