Description

The intestinal tract of every pig normally harbors over 300 different types of microorganisms. Many organisms are useful and contribute to the well-being of the pig, for they aid in digestion and stimulate the development of generalized immunity to infection. Some of these microorganisms, however, are capable of causing disease when the balance of the bacterial community is disturbed.
