Key Metrics

Mechanism of Action & Benefits

• Forms heat- and desiccation-tolerant spores that withstand feed pelleting and storage, germinating after entering the gastrointestinal tract
• Produces antifungal and antibacterial lipopeptides, including iturin and surfactin-type compounds, inhibiting plant fungal pathogens such as Fusarium, Rhizoctonia, and Sclerotinia
• Shows clear antimicrobial activity against feed and enteric pathogens including Clostridium perfringens, E. coli, and Staphylococcus aureus, serving as an alternative to antibiotic growth promoters
• Promotes plant growth and root development independent of changes in native soil microbiota, a property applied in biofertilizer and plant probiotic products
• Shares the general spore-forming probiotic functions common to Bacillus species, including competitive exclusion of enteric pathogens
• Valuable across both feed and crop biocontrol/growth-promotion product lines

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.
