What are Probiotics?
Probiotics are compounds that are comprised of naturally-occurring intestinal bacteria. They have the ability to reduce the proliferation of infectious, pathogenic gut bacteria. There is a process called competitive exclusion whereby "good" bacteria (probiotics) out-compete potentially harmful organisms in the gut.

Are Probiotics necessary?

Let me ask you a question now: How does stress affect you? Stress causes indigestion, making us feel bloated or out-of-sorts. Stress also weakens the immune system, reducing our ability to resist infections. Stressed birds experience similar problems, only worse.

When healthy, the digestive system of birds is much like ours in that they both perform the same functions. They absorb nutrients & antioxidants, and by competitive exclusion, protect against harmful microorganisms & pathogens.

Any bird taken out of its natural environment experiences various degrees of stress. Whether a bird is kept alone or with other birds, sooner or later, it will become stressed. Birds experience huge amounts of stress when they must compete with other birds for space, food, water or a mate. The breeding season is probably the most stressful time during a birds life in the wild but even more so while in captivity. Birds are more susceptible to the effects of stress in shorter periods of time than any other animal, pets included.

Stress upsets the balance of "good", or "friendly" bacteria in the intestinal tracts of birds. This upset allows pathogenic (harmful) bacteria to multiply causing diarrhea, "pasted-up" vents, weight loss, "going light" and a variety of other problems. Their immune-deficient systems make them easy targets for diseases caused by microorganisms such as "bad" bacteria and viruses.

What is the safest, most natural way to counteract the effects of stress?
The answer is to put "friendly" bacteria to work in the birds intestinal tract. The answer is AVI-CULTURE^{^Ž} the live, avian-specific probiotic! It is a totally safe and beneficial product that utilizes "friendly" bacteria that arrives in the gut in sufficient quantities to allow birds to get back on track to a healthy, happy and long life!

AVI-CULTURE^{^Ž} offers aviculturists, veterinarians, pet owners and zoo curators the finest Probiotic on the market with bacterial counts of over 100 million living organisms for the avian intestine per gram! It is over 100 times more effective than most other probiotic products available today!

AVI-CULTURE^{^Ž} is produced using proven, field-tested microorganisms that have been shown to implant on the villi of the intestinal tract in birds: Lactobacillus acidophilus, produces lactic acid and the enzyme amylase during the growth phase; Lactobacillus casei enjoys a wide temperature and pH range during growth and complements L. acidophilus producing lactic acid and amylase; Bifido bacterium bifidium, a delicate microorganism found in mother's milk and human, animal and bird intestines; Enterococcus faecium for lactic acid production in pH ranges similar to L. casei.
