Pediococcus acidilactici - Feed Ingredient

Pediococcus acidilactici is a species of lactic acid-producing bacteria used as a probiotic in animal nutrition. It is known for its stability under a wide range of pH and temperature conditions, making it suitable for inclusion in pelleted feeds and various supplement forms.

In equine feed and supplements, P. acidilactici is used to support gut health by contributing to a balanced intestinal microbiota. It competes with pathogenic bacteria, produces lactic acid, and may help maintain a favorable environment in the hindgut, especially during periods of dietary transition, stress, or antibiotic use.
