A method of synthesizing rumen bacterial polysaccharides in increased amounts using a cow as the growth apparatus, a special formulation of normal cow feed as a substrate and a combination of feeding time, time of day, feeding technique, collection area within the rumen, feed physical form and number of feedings to maximize bacterial growth and diversity is described. The feeding of these bacterial polysaccharides the first few days of young animals' lives aids in decreasing diarrhea morbidity, severity and mortality. In addition it results in increased growth rate.
