Dried Lactobacillus delbrueckii

Dried Lactobacillus delbrueckii is a probiotic ingredient consisting of a preserved form of the lactic acid-producing bacterium L. delbrueckii. It is produced by culturing the bacterium, followed by drying—typically through freeze-drying or spray-drying—to maintain microbial viability for use in feed or supplement applications.

In equine nutrition, L. delbrueckii may be used as a direct-fed microbial (DFM) to help stabilize the gut microbiota, support hindgut fermentation, and promote digestive function. It is often included in multi-strain probiotic formulations aimed at enhancing gastrointestinal health, especially during times of dietary stress or transition.
