Probiotics generally refer to live bacteria, and prebiotics generally refer to spores or oligosaccharides. no the same. If we simply discuss efficacy, probiotics are better! !

Prebiotics are compound biological preparations that are fermented, purified, dried and refined from animal intestinal beneficial microorganisms recognized by the Ministry of Agriculture. They are ideal green additives to reduce or replace antibiotics.

Prebiotics are substances in aquaculture → aquatic feeds and fertilizers. The English equivalent term is probiotic. It is a microbial additive that has a beneficial effect on animals by improving the balance of intestinal flora of animals.

1. Produce beneficial metabolites

Prebiotics produce organic acids, such as lactic acid, in the digestive tract. Its acidification can improve dietary nutrient utilization, promote animal growth, and prevent Diarrhea; produce carbohydrate-decomposing enzymes such as amylase, protease, and polysaccharase to eliminate anti-nutritional factors, promote animal digestion and absorption, and improve feed utilization; synthesize vitamins and chelate mineral elements to provide necessary nutritional supplements for animals.

2. Inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria

Secret bactericidal substances, inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria and spoilage bacteria in animals, improve the animal microecological environment, and enhance the body's immunity.

3. Prevent the accumulation of toxic substances

Animals themselves and many pathogenic bacteria will produce toxic substances, such as toxic amines, ammonia, bacterial toxins, ammonia free radicals, etc. Prebiotics contain nitrifying bacteria, which can prevent the synthesis of toxic amines and ammonia and purify the intestinal microecological environment of animals.

4. Stimulate the immune system and strengthen specific cellular immune responses

Probiotics have the same or similar antigenic substances as pathogenic bacteria, stimulating animals to develop immunity to pathogenic bacteria. .

5. Reduce ammonia emissions in animal manure, reduce ammonia concentration, and reduce pollution.

Probiotics are a type of active microorganisms that are beneficial to the host. They are active and beneficial microorganisms that are colonized in the human intestinal tract and reproductive system and can produce exact health effects, thereby improving the host's microecological balance and playing a beneficial role. General term. The main beneficial bacteria or fungi in humans and animals are: Clostridium butyricum, Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Actinomycetes, Yeast, etc. The most powerful products currently studied in the world are mainly composite active probiotics composed of the above types of microorganisms, which are widely used in the fields of bioengineering, industry and agriculture, food safety, and life and health.

So far, the probiotics that scientists have discovered can be roughly divided into three major categories, including:

① Lactobacilli (such as Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus larvaeii, Lactobacillus larmansenii, etc.);

②Bifidobacteria (such as Bifidobacterium longum, Bifidobacterium breve, Bifidobacterium ovale, Bifidobacterium thermophilus, etc.);

③ Gram-positive cocci (such as Streptococcus faecalis, Lactococcus, Streptococcus intermedius, etc.).

In addition, some yeasts and enzymes can also be classified as probiotics.
