Mini Review on the Dynamic Probiotic-Bacillus coagulans-Juniper Publishers

Journal of Dairy & Veterinary Sciences- Juniper Publishers

 

Introduction

Health benefits imparted by probitoics and their roles in maintaining health and disease prevention has been an area of extensive research in the past few decades. Some of the commonly used probiotics include Lactobacillus rhamnosus, L. reuteri, Bacillus coagulans, E. coli Nissle 1917, some enterococci and yeasts like Saccharomyces boulardii etc. Pandey et al. [1] have reviewed the major health benefits (and their probable mechanisms of action) ranging from diarrhea to cancer prevention etc. One of the nastiest technological problems probiotic fermentation industries face is loss of viable cell count during harsh processing conditions. Spore forming Bacillus probiotics remain in huge demand due to their ability to withstand the stringent processing conditions. One of the sturdiest probiotics is B. coagulans

Bacillus coagulans

Bacillus coagulans (discovered in 1930) was formerly known as Lactobacillus sporogenes. B. coagulans is a spore forming non-pathogenic gram positive bacteria that produces L(+) lactic acid homofermentatively. B. coagulans is a remarkably resilient probiotic that is able to withstand extreme conditions (like high temperatures, processing, stomach acids and bile) and is room temperature-stable for up to 3 years. Sporulation property makes B. coagulans the favorite of commercial probiotic producers. Various preparations of B. coagulans in powder, tablet and capsule forms exist in the market imparting several health benefits on the hosts like treatment of prevention of some diseased conditions (some are enlisted in Table 1).

Global Probitoic Market

The penetration of probiotics in the market is very high. Probiotic foods are available in grocery stores and supermarkets, while probiotic supplements are available in pharmacies and health food shops. Moreover, the increasing obsession of digestive wellbeing and preventive healthcare has accelerated the market growth. There is increase in number of probiotic ingredient suppliers who develop tailored strains of microorganisms for integrating with a diverse set of probiotics products.

Dynamic Probiotic for Commercial Producers

The probiotic ingredients market is segmented on the basis of application into food & beverage (dairy, bakery & confectionery, meat & cereals, etc), dietary supplements, and animal feed. The global probiotic market is dominated by players likeYakult (Japan), Dupont (Danisco), Ganeden (USA), Sabinsa (USA), BioGaia (Sweden), Nestle (Switzerland) etc. Asia-Pacific is the largest market for probiotic products and ingredients with Japan having accounted for a major share. The dietary supplement segment is projected to grow at the highest CAGR of 8.0% from 2015 to 2020. Health effects exerted by any probiotic is strain specific. Some of the commercial formulations containing B. coagulans strains have been enlisted below Table 2.

Conclusions

B. coagulans strains need a further characterization to rule out the speculations like causative agent for infections in patients with catheters and leading to rejections in organ transplants etc. Another lacunae in B. coagulans research is lack of large scale human trials and uncertainty of dosage amounts due to scanty clinical data. There is a need to evaluate the survival of B. coagulans during manufacturing process and storage conditions [2-12].

Review on the Reproductive Health Problem of Dairy Cattle-Juniper Publishers

Image
JUNIPER PUBLISHERS - OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL OF DAIRY & VETERINARY SCIENCES Abstract Reproductive disorders have been found to be a major reason for decreased reproductive efficiency in cattle and consequently reproductive efficiency is the major determinant of lifetime productivity of cows. Among the major reproductive problems that have direct impact on reproductive performance of dairy cows are abortion, dystocia, retained fetal membrane (RFM), pyometra, metritis, prolapse (uterine and vaginal), anoestrus, repeat breeding and these results, in considerable economic loss to the dairy industry due to slower uterine involution, reduced reproductive rate, prolonged inter-conception and calving interval, negative effect on fertility, increased cost of medication, drop in milk production, reduced calf crop and early depreciation of potentially useful cows. It is very difficult to diagnose those problems by one particular disorder or symptom because there is interrelatio

Integration of Innovative Technology ‘Narmada Nidhi’ in Backyard Poultry Farming for Empowering Tribal Women Self-Help Groups-Juniper Publishers

Image
JUNIPER PUBLISHERS - OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL OF DAIRY & VETERINARY SCIENCES   Abstract The present study was conducted in six villages of Narayanganj and Niwas blocks of Mandla District. Data were collected through a structured interview schedule by personal interview method. For integration of Narmada Nidhi among tribal women SHGs extension interventions like awareness camps, exposure visits and trainings on poultry management were organized in the study areas. After proper extension interventions, 06 self- help-groups were formed and each group was provided with 50 Narmada Nidhi chickens to empower them. The study data revealed that, extension interventions lead to improvement in knowledge and attitude change among the members of SHGs. The each tribal SHGs were economically benefitted as they received an average income of Rs.17,032 during the 8 months study period. Proper extension strategies like awareness campaigns, exposure visits and training helps in capacity bui
