Lactobacillus bulgaricus - Feed Ingredient

Lactobacillus bulgaricus is a species of lactic acid bacteria commonly used in the fermentation of yogurt and other cultured dairy products. It is known for its ability to convert lactose into lactic acid, contributing to a favorable gut environment.

In equine nutrition, L. bulgaricus may be included in probiotic or digestive support products, typically in the form of a dried fermentation product. Its role is to help promote a stable and beneficial microbial balance in the gastrointestinal tract, particularly during periods of stress, dietary changes, or antibiotic use.
