The cost of prebiotics is higher than antibiotics as prophylactic. In your experience, are markets around the world paying more for meat Raised without Antibiotics?

Absolutely, that is precisely how Brazil became the number 1 export chicken meat country in the world, by listening to the demands of Europe, Middle East, and Asian countries. Even here in the USA, things are changing rapidly. In Latin America, things are moving slowlier, but our world is changing. Some day, petroleum will not longer be used in our cars, and our children will not be bombarded with antibiotics to cure common colds. Slowly, inch by inch, but we will get there.

Thank you very much for your article.
Please tell me if what are a difference between water administration of probiotics and feed administration of probiotics.
How is the best way to administrate the probiotics: water or feed?

In water, the dosing of the probiotics are very precisely. Perfect doze, perfect time. In feed , the dosing can be perfect but the time is relative - you can take feed from feedmill once for one week - the time of probiotic administration is not too long ? How many days do you recommend to administrate lactobacillus and enterococcus?
Thank you.
