The function and activity of microorganisms are the key factors in understanding the quality of the animal production biotope, as well as the natural environment. In fact, both harmful and useful microbes exist in their environments that directly affect animal growth. Among these microorganisms, useful bacteria that can repress pathogenic microbes in the process of microbial antagonism and are utilized in biological production are called biocontrol (biological control) agents (BCAs). BCAs were applied to animal production in this study to prevent bacterial and viral diseases in fishes, animal husbandry and bees. This paper describes the outline of a study of biocontrol for animal production, and also reviews research processes on the use of microorganisms as BCAs in situ in animal environments.
