Los probióticos son cultivos de microorganismos que se adicionan al pienso para mejorar su utilización. Tienen la ventaja sobre los promotores de crecimiento de no ser absorbidos en absoluto a nivel intestinal por lo que no tienen problemas de residuo en tejidos. En España su uso no está muy extendido excepto en el caso de lactoreemplazantes y piensos antiestrés. 3, record 1, Spanish, - probi%C3%B3tico
