Lactobacillus acidophilus BT1386 has seen increased focus with the growing pressure of current safety concerns in regards to E.coli O157:H7. Lactobacillus acidophilus BT1386 thrives in the intestinal environment, and will colonize the hind gut. In the gut environment it grows vigorously and prolifically and therefore, has an advantage over other bacteria in the competition for gut attachment sites. When fed at the rate of 500 million Colony Forming Units (CFU) per day, Lactobacillus acidophilus BT1386 excludes "bad" pathogenic bacteria such as: E. coli, Listeria, Salmonella, etc. and will help prevent them from colonizing in the lower gut. In addition, the Lactobacillus acidophilus BT1386 strain stimulates the animal's immune system and helps produce beneficial digestive enzymes. These characteristics have led to proven economical benefits for the beef producer.
