Lactobacillus acidophilus - Feed Ingredient
Lactobacillus acidophilus is a probiotic bacterium commonly included in equine feed and supplements to support gut microbiota balance and digestive function.

In equine nutrition, Lactobacillus acidophilus is often used to aid in maintaining a stable microbial population, particularly during periods of stress, dietary changes, or antibiotic treatment.
The following equine feeds, supplements and products contain Lactobacillus acidophilus as an ingredient.
