Probiotics reduce incidence of Salmonella in pigs, leading to safer pork products
Posted 4 years ago by Soraya in General Health News
Researchers from the UK’s Veterinary Laboratories Agency in Weybridge used a special technique based on NASA space technology, growing pieces of pig gut in a 3D matrix to replicate the environment inside a pig’s gut. Following the experiment the team believe that giving pigs probiotics can reduce the likelihood of the pigs developing salmonella, and therefore lead to safer pork for human consumption.
