Agree with Dr.Guillermo Tellez. Sporulating bacilli such as B.subtilis, B.lichenifornis, B.megaterium are natural bacteria, living normally in the soil. All animales and humans eating these bacteria everyday. Another matter that it must be not GMO strains. For direct-fed are applicable only wilde strains, improved by laboratory selection. From other hand, it is impossible to replace feed enzymes by direct-fed microbials, because different feed recipes contains different antinutritional substances, requiring different enzymes. Bacilli can amplify feed enzymes action, but cannot replace feed enzymes. My factory produce feed additives containing both bacillus and feed enzymes, causing very good results at the customers.

Using live cultures has risks of unknown contaminants. The speaker has highlighted the viability of the spores. What if some unknown spores get into cultures and we get into new problems.
This happened with some vaccines made of biological like chick embryos.
Already small labs have made probiotics a cottage industry.

I would like to add that there is an interbacterial interaction.
Where some beneficial bacteria antagonize each other and inhibit both other beneficial and pathogenic bacteria where each species had a limited number in the microbiome balance.

Yes. Small companies, labs have made probiotics a joke. There are some companies with R&D and could develop stable bacteria. NCH is one such company which provides liquid probiotics.

Hello Sir,
According to you, what is the optimum population of bacillus sps. to be present as DFM for optimum benefits?
