Name: Ecobiol® PRO
SKU: PR_52049943

Ecobiol® PRO is a natural, spore-forming probiotic based on Bacillus CECT 5940, now with an optimized outgrowth profile. Designed to support a balanced intestinal microflora through faster spore outgrowth and higher active cell numbers, Ecobiol® PRO helps producers achieve reliable and consistent results in modern livestock systems.

Typical Applications

Ecobiol® PRO can be used in feed and premixtures. For water application, choose water-soluble Ecobiol® PRO Fizz. Available product concentrations support flexible incorporation into a range of feed-manufacturing processes.

A natural probiotic, powered by innovation

Ecobiol® PRO is supplied in a resilient spore form that is well suited to feed manufacturing and storage. Its Bacillus CECT 5940 strain features now an improved outgrowth profile, enabling rapid germination and growth under intestinal conditions to support a balanced gut flora. Once active, the vegetative cells produce beneficial secondary metabolites like lactic acid and enzymes that support the normal gut flora and digestion.

Faster spore outgrowth for a balanced gut flora

Thanks to advanced fermentation technology, Ecobiol® PRO is now more effective than ever. The improved Ecobiol® PRO now germinates and grows up to 46% faster than competitor probiotics. This means more active probiotic cells, rather than only spores, are available in the upper small intestine, supporting earlier colonization in a larger part of the intestine. This breakthrough ensures consistent outgrowth across diverse diets and production systems, giving producers greater confidence in every batch.
