Abstract: A feed supplement comprising at least one selected from lactic acid bacterium belonging to Lactobacillus gasseri, a crushed product of the lactic acid bacterium, culture of the lactic acid bacterium, residue of the culture of the lactic acid bacterium and a treated product thereof (a concentrate, a pasted product, a dried product, a liquid product, a diluted product, a sterilized product, etc.) and a feed composition comprising the feed supplement.

Abstract: The invention provides a composition that enhances the proliferation activity of propionic acid bacteria in the rumen of ruminants to allow the propionic acid bacteria to sufficiently exhibit their metabolic function in the rumen for the prevention and treatment of rumen acidosis in ruminants. The invention also provides use of the composition. Viable propionic acid bacteria and a lactic acid bacteria culture are orally administered to a ruminant to dramatically (rapidly) promote the proliferation of the propionic acid bacteria in the ruminant rumen, and to thereby increase the volatile fatty acid concentration in the rumen for the prevention and/or treatment of rumen acidosis in the ruminant.

Abstract: [Objects] An object of the present invention is to provide an orally administrable agent for medical use for animals for preventing or treating coccidiosis which is highly safe with no side effects, an agent for a food or a drink for use in the preservation of health, a feed additive, and a feed comprising the same. Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for rearing animals (particularly, livestock and poultry) using the same and a method for controlling coccidiosis using the same. [Means for Resolution] By using a fermentation product of a lactic acid bacterium and/or a whey fermentation product of a propionic acid bacterium as an active ingredient, an agent for preventing or treating coccidiosis, an agent for use in the preservation of health, and a feed additive can be provided.
