Abstract:

Probiotics are living microbial feed supplement that not only improve production performance, boost immunity, maintain gastrointestinal flora balance, clean the gastrointestinal environment, but also play an important role in preventing and treating diarrhea and regulating host immune function in animals. Probiotics can be utilized as replacement for antibiotics because of their high-level safety, no residue and no drug resistance. In equine animals, probiotics have been frequently employed and show promising outcomes. This paper provided a summary for the action mechanism of probiotics and related active substances, as well as the current issues and application prospects of equine probiotics, in hoping to serve as a guide for the development and application of equine probiotics.

Key words: equine, probiotics, probiotic effect, application
