1. A method of reducing growth of pathogenic bacteria in a gastrointestinal tract of an animal comprising providing to an animal at least two administrations of a prepared composition comprising 1×1013 cfu of Lactobacillus animalis probiotic microorganisms per kilogram of feed, wherein when 1×104 viable cells of the Lactobacillus animalis probiotic are added to 1×104 viable cells of Escherichia coli in a solution of MRS broth in a test tube and incubated in a water bath at 37° C. for six hours, the growth of Escherichia coli is reduced by at least 41.24% compared to a preparation of 1×104 viable cells of Escherichia coli mixed in a solution of MRS broth in a test tube and incubated in a water bath at 37° C. for six hours without the addition of Lactobacillus animalis probiotic.
