Paraprobiotics as Potential Agents for Improving Animal Health

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Probiotics and Prebiotics in Animal Health and Food Safety

Abstract

Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, Lactococcus, Streptococcus, Enterococcus, Saccharomyces, Bacillus, Brevibacillus, and Sporolactobacillus comprise the main genera used as probiotic microorganisms. Few strains within these genera have been shown to confer specific health benefits to the hosts when administered, as live microorganisms, in adequate amounts. Despite this, recently the ability of “dead” or “inactivated” probiotic cells also to provide health benefits to hosts has been reported. “Dead” or “inactivated” probiotics are nonviable microbial cells, which when administered in appropriate amounts and frequency are able to confer benefits on human or animal health. The use of dead probiotic bacteria to confer health benefits to hosts offers a series of advantages when compared with live microorganisms. In this chapter, a general description of the dead probiotics will be presented, followed by explanation of the main probiotics and their use in animal production. Finally, studies that correlate live and dead probiotics with the animal health will be addressed.
