In vitro compatibility screening of Bacillus pumilus and Bacillus altitudinis strains with selected candidate prebiotics for in ovo application of synergistic synbiotics.

ABSTRACT: Bacillus species have demonstrated beneficial effects on intestinal health, production parameters, and immune function in poultry under both standard and disease-challenged conditions. Previously, we found that several novel ingredients (beta-glucan, vegetable protein hydrolysate, and liquid seaweed extract) demonstrated growth stimulation effects on Bifidobacterium lactis and Lactobacillus plantarum, Here, we extended this approach to examine in vitro synbiotic combinations of five novel marine-derived candidate probiotic Bacillus strains to assess their potential for in ovo applications. Beta-glucan enhanced the growth of all candidate Bacillus probiotic strains compared to a glucose control (p ≤ 0.05), suggesting a broad-spectrum modulatory role over a 24-h period, with variable magnitu
