Dried Lactobacillus lactis - Feed Ingredient

Dried Lactobacillus lactis refers to a dehydrated form of the lactic acid bacterium Lactobacillus lactis (also known as Lactococcus lactis), which is commonly used as a probiotic or microbial feed additive. It is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming bacterium that ferments carbohydrates to produce lactic acid and is widely utilized in fermented food production and animal nutrition.

In equine feed and supplement formulations, dried L. lactis is included to support gut health and microbial balance. It is typically added in freeze-dried or microencapsulated form to preserve viability during feed processing and to ensure delivery to the hindgut. The intended function is to promote a stable intestinal environment, enhance feed digestibility, and potentially mitigate gastrointestinal disturbances.
