The role and efficacy of probiotics

Oct 12, 2021

Promote the digestion and absorption of nutrients

Probiotics can synthesize digestive enzymes. Together with the digestive enzymes synthesized by the animal body, they participate in the digestion of nutrients in the intestine, stimulate the animal body to secrete digestive enzymes, reduce the depth of small intestinal crypts, increase the height of villi, increase the surface area of the small intestine, and promote intestinal nutrition Material absorption.

Improve the body's immunity

Probiotics' structures such as peptidoglycan, lipoteichoic acid, and other components can be used as antigens to directly exert immune activation effects, or through autocrine immune activators to stimulate the host immune system, thereby enhancing the immunity of animals and strengthen the body's innate immune cells With the activity of natural killer cells, it activates dendritic cells, stimulates the body to produce cytokines, and stimulates B cells to secrete antibodies. Probiotics can stimulate the intestinal tract to produce secretory globulin A (SIgA) to protect the health of the body.

Maintain the balance of intestinal flora structure

The intestine is not only a normal body part but also participates in important physiological activities. At the same time, there are complex intestinal flora in the intestine, which play important functions in the host's growth, development, and health.

Improve meat quality

Probiotics can delay the formation of methemoglobin by inhibiting lipid peroxidation, thereby improving muscle brightness. Probiotics can also affect fatty acid metabolism and improve muscle tenderness.

Improve the body's antioxidant level

Oxides in the body, such as oxygen free radicals and hydroxyl free radicals, contain unpaired electrons, which are prone to redox reactions. Excessive oxides in the body will cause the body to produce oxidative damage. There is an antioxidant system in the body, which constantly removes the oxides synthesized by the body and maintains the dynamic balance of oxides.

Inhibit intestinal inflammation

Probiotics can alleviate the body's inflammatory response.

Protect the intestinal mucosal barrier

Probiotics can reduce the permeability of the intestinal mucosa, thereby protecting the integrity of the intestinal mucosal barrier.

Aquaculture water quality adjustment

Probiotics participate in a variety of cyclic processes in the water body. Through their metabolism, they consume organic substances in the water and reduce the concentration of nitrite nitrogen and ammonia nitrogen in the water body, thereby achieving the effect of improving and maintaining good water quality.
