Salmonella enterica has two pathogenicity islands encoding separate type three secretion systems (T3SS). Proteins secreted through these systems facilitate invasion and survival. After entry, Salmonella reside within a membrane bound vacuole, the Sal...

Of all the problems that Afghanistan has faced during the last twenty years, perhaps the least well known is the regular occurrence of drought. As frequently as four years in 10, failure of the rains results in livestock numbers falling by 70 – 86%,...

Translation from Spanish:
BIOSAF Sc47 has been incorporated into the diets of rabbits, sheep, cattle, and pigs, where has allowed a better use of the food, high consumption and better productive performance in general. Its mode of action is not full... Read More about ¿Existe un papel para biosaf en las dietas de equinos?.

FINAL REPORT – MAY 2002 Trial 3: In vivo evaluation of the effect of Biosaf Sc47 on fibre digestibility in ponies fed haylage
Report
Cuddeford, D., Smith, D., & Stebbens, H. (2002). FINAL REPORT – MAY 2002 Trial 3: In vivo evaluation of the effect of Biosaf Sc47 on fibre digestibility in ponies fed haylage

The beneficial effects of feeding Biosaf Sc47 are well established in both ruminant and non-ruminant farm animals. In beef and dairy cattle, the addition of Biosaf Sc47 to the diet results in greater live weight gains and milk production. It is post...

IN VITRO ACID EXPOSURE REPORT – AUGUST 2002.
Report
Cuddeford, D., Smith, D., & Stebbens, H. (2002). IN VITRO ACID EXPOSURE REPORT – AUGUST 2002

In monogastic herbivores such as the horse, yeast based probiotics (YBP) feed additives must survive exposure to acid digestion in the stomach if they are to pass through to the caecum (the site of action) in an active state.. This is not the case i... Read More about IN VITRO ACID EXPOSURE REPORT – AUGUST 2002..
