Probiotics
Probiotics is a consortium of lactic acid producing bacteria and other beneficial microbes useful to prevent intestinal disorders in poultry, cattle, and fish farming. These microbes will secrete variety of enzymes viz. amylase, cellulase, and protease were improve absorption of nutrients in digestion.
