Key Metrics

Mechanism of Action & Benefits

• Forms heat-, acid-, and pressure-tolerant spores that remain stable at near-100°C, withstanding feed pelleting, granulation, and long-term storage
• Consumes residual oxygen in the gut after ingestion, helping to re-establish and maintain the anaerobic environment favored by beneficial anaerobic flora
• Exhibits strong protease, amylase, and lipase activity, breaking down starch, protein, fat, and plant fiber components to improve feed nutrient bioavailability
• Certain strains produce bacteriocin-like antimicrobial substances that inhibit competing bacteria, helping reduce reliance on in-feed antibiotics
• A well-characterized alkaline (subtilisin-type) protease from this species is widely used in industrial detergents and leather processing, reflecting its strong proteolytic capacity
• As a soil-derived spore-forming strain, it has established applications in both industrial enzyme production and microbial feed additives

Recommended Dosage

Recommended minimum inclusion: 0.1–2×10⁸ CFU per kg body weight, adjusted by target species. For feed inclusion, calculate from body weight and target intake.
