Administration of Bacillus coagulans in calves: recovery from faecal samples and evaluation of functional aspects of spores

An investigation was carried out into the recovery from calf faeces of Bacillus coagulans spores added to the feed as probiotic. For this purpose, Bacillus coagulans spores (9 log 10 CFU g −1 ) were given daily to 10 calves during the whole farming periods; another 10 calves acted as controls. Throu...
