A fermented feed composition for a target animal is provided, the feed composition being prepared by the fermentation of a feed substrate with a lactic acid producing bacteria, the lactic acid bacteria being characterised by: a) being viable under the conditions prevailing in the gastrointestinal tract of the target animal; b) being capable of aggregating and/or co-aggregating with one or more pathogens such as Salmonella, E. Coli and/or Clostridia; and c) being able to produce at least 150mMol of lactic acid in 24 hours upon fermentation at 30ºC in a growth medium consisting of MRS broth containing 2% by weight glucose. Biologically pure cultures of bacterial strains of Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus salivarius are claimed. |
