Studies on the suitability of Bacillus probiotics are emerging and showing benefits, but information on the production technology is limited. We developed the production process for a novel probiotic product previously shown to be effective in field trials. All strains were cultivated to a spore concentration exceeding 1 × 1010 CFU. mL-1. The spores of each strain were harvested, processed into a powder intermediate and formulated into an end product with 100 % recoveries and a shelf life stability >1 year. The probiotic was shown to be incorporated into broiler feed exceeding the desired concentration of 1 × 106 CFU. g-1. Using efficient process technology and lower cost materials, this study presents a commercially relevant case for the potential adoption of probiotic products by the poultry industry.FulltextenBacillus probioticsAntibiotic growth promotersAGPsFeed-incorporationShelf lifeArticleRamlucken, U., Ramchuran, S.
