Abstract: The present invention provides an adjunctive agent and a method for lavaging the alimentary canal, which is able to reduce a dose of oral cleaning agent for lavaging the alimentary canal and is capable of realizing an excellent cleaning effect at the time of use of the oral cleaning agent. The adjunctive agent comprises butyric acid bacterium (for example, Clostridium butyricum and the like) and/or lactic acid bacterium (for example, species belonging to the genus Lactobacillus and the genus Bifidobacterium).

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a composition for a food or beverage containing a butyric acid bacterium which produces butyric acid and is excellent in intestinal regulation and cellooligosaccharide which serves as a substrate for the butyric acid bacterium and facilitates the production of butyric acid, enhancing an amount of butyric acid produced in intestine and being excellent in functions to improve an enteric environment and protect against an infectious disease.

Abstract: The present invention provides an adjunctive agent for lavaging the alimentary canal which is able to reduce a dose of oral cleaning agent for lavaging the alimentary canal, and is capable of realizing an excellent cleaning effect at the time of use of the aforementioned oral cleaning agent for lavaging the alimentary canal. The means for solving the problem is an adjunctive agent for lavaging the alimentary canal which is comprising butyric acid bacterium (for example, Clostridium butyricum and the like) and/or lactic acid bacterium (for example, the lactic acid bacterium belonging to the genus Lactobacillus and the genus Bifidobacterium, and the like).

Abstract: The invention provides a method for the growth promotion of animals, comprising orally administering into animals killed microbial cells of bacteria belonging to the genus Clostridium, and also provides a powder composition, which comprises as essential ingredients killed microbial vegetative cells of bacteria belonging to the genus Clostridium, together with saccharides and/or starches.
