KEYWORDS
ABSTRACT
The stressful physiological and environmental conditions experienced in particular by young pigs
promote the proliferation of pathogens in the digestive tract. Probiotics, such as lactic acid-producing
bacteria, Bacillus spp. and yeast have been reported to improve microbial balance in the gastrointestinal
tract through bacterial antagonisms, competitive exclusion and immune stimulation. Prebiotics which
include non-digestible oligosaccharides may control or manipulate microbial composition and/or activity, thereby assisting to maintain a beneficial microflora that suppresses through different regulatory
mechanisms the growth of pathogens. The combination of probiotics and prebiotics, also referred to as
synbiotics, may improve the survival rate of probiotics during their passage through the digestive tract,
thus contributing to the stabilization and/or enhancement of the probiotic effects.
