Health benefits of inulin in mid-lactating cows

Inulin is often used as a prebiotic effective in promoting the proliferation of beneficial bacteria. A newly-published study elaborates on the health and performance benefits of supplementing inulin to mid-lactating dairy cows. Studies show that inulin, as a prebiotic, is effective in selectively promoting the proliferation of probiotic bacteria such as Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus and providing colonisation resistance against invading pathogens such as E. coli and clostridia in the colo
