SMIBIOTICS Apollo BS
SMIBIOTICS Apollo BS is a unique patented strain of Bacillus subtilis XDY-1105.SMIBIOTICS Apollo BS produces a variety of antibacterial metabolites to inhibit pathogenic Clostridium perfringens and other Clostridium, reduce the growth of aerobic harmful microorganisms, and maintain intestinal health effectively. It can consume intestinal oxygen and produce good amount of digestive enzymes effectively in animal digestive tract.
Active component:
Bacillus subtilis XDY-1105
Features:
- Patented strain (patented No.:201310616703.2).
- Stable under normal commercial pelleting conditions and in storage of commercial feeds.
- Excellent inhibitory ability against clostridium perfringens and other pathogenic bacteria.
Characteristics:
1. High spore uniformity, strong stress resistance

2. Outstanding antibacterial ability and compatible with other probiotics
Inhibitory toward various strains of pathogens
C.perfringens
Strong S

C.difficile
High S

Campylobacter Jejuni

Staphylococcus aureus
Strong S

Zone of inhibition: sensitive-S <10mm - low sensitive; 10-14mm - middle sensitive; 15-20mm - high sensitive; >20mm - strong sensitive
No antagonism with beneficial microorganism
B.Licheniformis

B.subtilis

Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Enterococcus faecium

Note: The longitudinal strip : APOLLO BS, The horizontal strip is probiotics
3. Produce enzymes and has strong digestive ability

Amylase hydrolysis circle
Diameter of hydrolysis circle: 10.2 mm

Protease hydrolysis circle
Diameter of hydrolysis circle: 15.04 mm
Benefits:
1. Reduce the survival of Clostridium enteritis and other bacterial diseases
Produce a variety of antibacterial metabolites, inhibit the growth of pathogenic microorganisms such as Clostridium perfringens, clostridium difficile, Staphylococcus aureus and Campylobacter jejuni.
2. Maintain intestinal flora balance
Inhibit the over reproduction of other harmful pathogenic microorganisms and regulate the balance of intestinal flora by means of biological oxygen capture, nutritional competition, and spatial competition.
3. Promote nutrient digestion
Produce good amount of digestive enzymes to assist digestion, improve nutrient utilization and decrease metabolic diarrhea .
4. Improving animal rearing environment
Reduce the concentration of harmful gases in the enclosure, improve the breeding environment, and reduce the occurrence of stress and respiratory diseases .

Note: 1.Take Clostridium perfringens 1 * 109 cfu l chicken / time in the morning and evening.twice a day
2.Rectal feces samples were taken from all experimental groups,and the total number of colonies was determined by dilution withthe same multiple.
