- Abstract
A microbial fermentation process was developed to produce three eubiotic products containing probiotics, organic acids, enzymes, organic vitamins and minerals. The studies were carried out from 2015 to 2017. One product was specifically added with ground leaves of essential oil plant at the end of fermentation. As a result of this study, a dose of Eubiotic 1 ranging from 0.02 to 0.1% of diet remarkably increased egg yield and egg weight of laying hens. A daily increase of 1 to 3 kg milk per cow with no increase in dry matter intakes was obtained from a dose of 15 g eubiotic 1 per head per day in several farm trials. Calves had a 15 g Eubiotic 2 in warm milk grew faster than those given no supplement in milk. Calves and lambs having a severe level of diarrhea provided with 15 g supplement of eubiotic 2 in milk showed no sign of diarrhea after 6 or 24 h. Dairy cows and beef cattle having severe and acute metabolic disorders administrated with a dose of 75 g eubiotic 2 per cow per twice a day had no signs of such disorders in 24 h. Meat-type broiler chickens and quails given a diet of 0.5% supplement produced more profitable meat than those birds had no supplement. A 250 g live weigh gain with better feed conversion ratio (FCR) was obtained from the fattening beef cattle given a 20 g/day/head of eubiotic 2. Eubiotic mixture 3 was a silage additive and added to approximately 10.000 tonnes of corn silages and then the maturation of silage occurred in 15 to 30 days. It was concluded that these beneficial effects were mainly due to the combination of various active agents, and the proposed dosages were 0.5% in broiler diet, 200-1000 mg/kg of laying hens, 30 g/ head in dairy cows.
