The cilnical effectivity of Probios-feed granules was tested in the conditions of industrial pig farm with proved bacterial enteritis. The probiotic was added to food of 347 suckling pigs in the period from first eating day to weaning on the age of 36th day at a doze of 1 kg/1 tone. Clinical, pathological and bacteriological examinations were accomplished of dead and live pigs. It is established that Probios-feed granules decrease the results of positive for pathogenic bacteria RTS and NTS with about 50%, reduce the number of pigs with gastroenteritic symptoms with 46% and the number of dead pigs with 40% in comparison with the control group. Moreover the probiotic provides better food conversion and results in weight gain for a pig of 0.465 kg more while the food consumption until weaning is equal.
