Key Metrics

Mechanism of Action & Benefits

• Forms heat- and acid-tolerant spores that withstand feed pelleting and gastrointestinal conditions, germinating in the gut to exert probiotic effects
• Secretes a range of extracellular enzymes—protease, amylase, lipase, xylanase, and phytase—improving feed digestibility and nutrient utilization
• Produces bacteriocins, lysozyme, and other antimicrobial peptides that inhibit colonization by pathogens such as Salmonella and E. coli through competitive exclusion
• Improves growth performance and feed conversion in broilers, swine, and other livestock, serving as an alternative to in-feed antibiotic growth promoters
• Widely used in aquaculture as a pond and water-quality bioremediation agent, lowering ammonia nitrogen and nitrite levels and suppressing pathogenic Vibrio proliferation
• Frequently combined with other Bacillus species in multi-strain probiotic products, addressing both gut health and water-quality improvement

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.
