This podcast explores the role of probiotics in maintaining the health and productivity of dairy cows and calves. It highlights how specific probiotic strains enhance gut health, digestion, and immune function, leading to improved herd stability and fewer health challenges.

Key points:

Strain Selection Matters: Not all probiotics are equal—specific strains provide targeted benefits, making strain selection crucial for effective probiotic use.

Probiotics and Digestive Health: Beneficial bacteria, such as Lactobacillus and Bacillus species, support digestion, absorption, barrier and immune functions.

Probiotics in Calf Health: Research trials demonstrated that probiotics helped mitigate Clostridium perfringens challenges in calves, supporting normal performance and improving survival rates.
