As pigeons are subjected to constant stress conditions, such com overpopulation, transport and repeated contests. In addition to treatment with antibiotics or medications that may alter the intestinal flora, is an imbalance, where pathogenic bacteria may predominate.Studies show that lactobacilli bacteria are most affected by stress, resulting in a reduction of the population of lactobacilli, missing the proper pH, which causes diarrhea by increasing the proliferation of pathogenic bacteria and disrupting the normal protein availability.Among the beneficial effects of lactobacilli is theproduction of antibiotics such as LACTOLINA and acidolin with inhibitory properties for intestinal pathogens.This found that more lactic acid acidolin have microbicidal action against enterobacteria such as E-COLI-SALMONELLA TYPHIMURIUM, STAPHYLOCOCCUS, AUREUS, CLOSTRIDIUM. 

Another important mechanism is the “competitive exclusion against enterobacteria, depleting the nutrients you can use these. Also stimulate the immune system.

In addition enhance enzymatic activity because these are more effective in acidic medium.

These benefits become more important in developing or immature young pigeons and they produce small amount of enzimas. As well stimulate the appetite, which acts as an adjunct in convalescence from illness.

Lactobacilli colonize mainly the crop and intestino.Para epithelial cells maintain this colonization or adhesion in these digestive organs should be given regularly.

1.   After the use of antibiotics or medications that may alter the intestinal flora, the administration is for 3 to 5 days after treatment.

2.   In combination with electrolyte for the recovery of the pigeons after competitions, administering 2 to 3 days, according to the requirement of the race, this allows rapid recovery and hydration of the same.

3.   While tending to improve digestion and absorption of nutrients.

4.   In these last years we are using combined with electrolytic day of their prey, to avoid the reduction of lactobacilli that are produced by the STRESS of it.

Our experience with probiotics is to “Lactobacillus acidophilus and Streptococcus faecium, microencapsulated and betyaglucano protected to avoid being destroyed by contact with digestive juices.
