Notes from Alfred Berger:
It is known from numerous scientific studies with pre- and probioca that these can have health-promoting effects on the target organism.
A basic distinction must be made between prebiotics and probiotics. The prebiotics represent a nutritional basis for probiotic bacteria in the intestinal area. They create a healthy intestinal environment and stabilize the natural intestinal flora and thus support the immune system.
However, a successful probiotic must meet the various requirements of modern pigeon farming. On the one hand, it makes sense that it is acid-stable so that it can withstand the low pH value in the stomach without any problems, so that it can develop its effect in the intestine and is not rendered useless by the stomach acids. The field of application of a probiotic defines further requirements. These are often prescribed for intestinal cleansing after antibiotic administration in order to rebuild the destroyed intestinal flora. Recently, we have probiotics available that contain a large number of probiotic bacteria that are stable against commonly used antibiotics such as colistin, enrofloxacin and amoxicillin.
It is therefore possible to rebuild the destroyed intestinal flora even while administering antibiotics. The probiotic bacteria (probiotics) promote the growth of the lactobacilli in the small intestine by optimizing the living conditions of the body's own probiotic bacteria. This suppresses germs such as E.Coli, salmonella and clostridia.
An additional benefit of these new probiotics is that their metabolites inhibit the growth of fungi.
It makes sense that many intestinal cleansing preparations also contain a special prebiotic to sustainably nourish the positive intestinal flora.
The administration of a probiotic is always recommended after periods of stress. For example, a change in feed or lack of water over a longer period of time can lead to dysbiosis (disorder of the intestinal flora) in the intestines and thus weaken the pigeons' defenses. The weakness is accompanied by a drop in performance or an illness in the pigeons. The probiotics of the latest generation reliably counteract dysbiosis after phases of stress. In order to complete the supply after stress phases such as training stress in young pigeons, cabin stays and medication cures, vitamins are also ideally included in a defined concentration in order to accelerate the best possible regeneration.
