Development of probiotic feed based on homogenised potato pulp
Abstract
This paper presents a study aimed at developing a probiotic feed preparation based on a secondary product of the food industry - homogenised potato mass (HPM). The possibility of using HPC as a substrate for cultivation of probiotic bacteria Bacillus subtilis and Lactobacillus plantarum was studied. It was experimentally shown that GCM provides effective growth and multiplication of these bacteria, and lyophilisation allows to preserve their viability for a long time. The obtained preparation demonstrated pronounced antibiotic activity against a number of pathogenic microorganisms. This allows us to conclude that HCM is a promising raw material for the production of cost-effective and efficient probiotic preparations, which contributes to the development of sustainable animal husbandry and reduces dependence on antibiotics. The results confirm the possibility of efficient utilisation of secondary raw materials for the production of probiotics and indicate the importance of further research in this area.
