Enterococcus faecium EK13—an enterocin A-producing strain with probiotic character and its effect in piglets

The experiment was conducted to determine the effects of the inoculation of the probiotic and enterocin A-producing strain Enterococcus faecium EK13 on selected parameters of metabolic profile, gut microflora, growth, and health in newborn piglets of Slovak White Improved. Piglets for study were div...

Zusammenfassung:The experiment was conducted to determine the effects of the inoculation of the probiotic and enterocin A-producing strain Enterococcus faecium EK13 on selected parameters of metabolic profile, gut microflora, growth, and health in newborn piglets of Slovak White Improved. Piglets for study were divided into two groups: one group (EK13 group, n=8) received strain EK13 per os once daily for 7 days (2 ml per piglet, 10 9 CFU/mL of saline buffer). The control group of piglets ( n=7) was given placebo—saline buffer. The experiment lasted 14 days. After 7 days, strain EK13 reached 9.8 log 10 CFU/g in faeces of E. faecium EK13 treated piglets while counts of Escherichia coli were significantly lower ( P
