Abstract

A ruminant direct fed microbial composition of matter comprising an acidosis inhibiting effective amount of Propionibacterium P-63 is provided. Also disclosed is a process for reducing acidosis in ruminants or scours in swine by administration of the bacterium to the ruminant or swine. The microbial composition may be administered by itself, or combined with animal feed and/or lactic acid producing cultures.

         9 . The composition according to  claim 8  further comprising an animal feed material.  
     
     
         10 - 14 . (canceled)  
     
     
         15 - 24 . (canceled)  
     
     
         25 . A process for reducing scours in swine comprising the step of administering to said swine a scour inhibiting effective amount of  Propionibacterium  P-63.  
     
     
         26 . The process according to  claim 25  wherein said scour inhibiting amount of  Propionibacterium  P-63 comprises between about 1×10 6  cfu/animal/day to about 1×10 12  cfu/animal/day.  
     
     
         27 . The process according to  claim 26  wherein said scour inhibiting amount of  Propionibacterium  P-63 comprises between about 1×10 9  cfu/animal/day to about 1×10 12  cfu/animal/day.  
     
     
         28 . The process according to  claim 25  further comprising the step of administering to said swine a lactic acid producing culture.  
     
     
         29 . The process according to  claim 28  wherein said lactic acid producing culture is selected from the group consisting of  Lactobacillus acidophilus; Lactobacillusplantarum; Streptococcuusfaecjum; Lactobacillus casei; Lactobacillus lactis; Lactobacillus enterii; Lactobacillusfermentum: Lactobacillus delbruckii; Lactobacillus helveticus; Lactobacillus curvatus; Lactobacillus brevis: Lactobacillus bulgaricus; Lactobacillus cellobiosuus; Streptococcus lactis; Streptococcus thermophilus; Streptococcus cremoris; Streptococcus diacetylactis; Streptococcus intermedius; Bifidobacterium animalis; Bifidobacterium adolescentis; Bifidobacterium bifidum; Bifidobacterium infantis; Bifidobacterium longum; Bifidobacterium thermephilum; Pediococcus acidilactici ; and,  Pediococcus pentosaceus  and mixtures thereof.  
     
     
         30 . The process according to  claim 29  wherein said lactic acid producing culture comprises  Lactobacillus acidophilus  ATCC 53545.  
     
     
         31 . The process according to  claim 25  further comprising administering to said swine an animal feed material.  
     
     
         32 . The process according to  claim 31  wherein said animal feed material is selected from the group consisting of corn, dried grain, alfalfa, and corn meal and mixtures thereof.  
     
     
         33 . The process according to  claim 25  further comprising the step of administering to said swine one or more additives selected from the group consisting of growth substrates, enzymes, sugars, carbohydrates, extracts and growth promoting micro-ingredients and mixtures thereof.  
     
     
         34 . The process according to  claim 29  wherein said scour inhibiting amount of  Propionibacterium  P-63 comprises between about 1×10 6  cfu/animal/day to about 1×10 8  cfu/animal/day.
