Abstract

Bacillus strains that inhibit pathogenic swine E. coli and/or improve performance are provided. Inhibition of pathogenic swine E. coli decreases E. coli disease. At least one strain enhanced swine performance by improving average daily gain, feed efficiency, and feed intake. Preferred Bacillus strains are of species that are included on the GRAS list. Bacillus species are sporeformers and therefore are highly stable and can be fed to swine.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . An isolated microorganism having all of the characteristics of  Bacillus  strain 3A-P4 ATCC PTA-6506. 
   
   
       2 . An isolated microorganism having all of the characteristics of  Bacillus  strain 15A-P4 ATCC PTA-6507. 
   
   
       3 . An isolated microorganism having all of the characteristics of  Bacillus  strain 22C-P1 ATCC PTA-6508. 
   
   
       4 . A method of feeding one or more animal, the method comprising feeding to the one or more animal an isolated microorganism of the genus  Bacillus  selected from the group consisting of strains 3A-P4 ATCC PTA-6506, 15A-P4 ATCC PTA-6507, and 22C-P1 ATCC PTA-6508 and mixtures thereof. 
   
   
       5 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein the microorganism is strain 15A-P4 ATCC PTA-6507. 
   
   
       6 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein the mixtures thereof comprise at least two strains. 
   
   
       7 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the strains comprise strain 22C-P1 ATCC PTA-6508 and strain 15A-P4 ATCC PTA-6507. 
   
   
       8 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein the microorganism comprise 90% of the total count of strain 22C-P1 ATCC PTA-6508 and 10% of the total count of strain 15A-P4 ATCC PTA-6507. 
   
   
       9 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein the microorganism comprise 10% of the total count of strain 22C-P1 ATCC PTA-6508 and 90% of the total count of strain 15A-P4 ATCC PTA-6507. 
   
   
       10 . A method of feeding one or more animal, the method comprising feeding to the one or more animal a combination of microorganisms of the genus  Bacillus , the combination comprising strains 22C-P1 ATCC PTA-6508 and 15A-P4 ATCC PTA-6507. 
   
   
       11 . A method of feeding one or more fowl, the method comprising feeding to the one or more fowl an isolated microorganism of the genus  Bacillus  selected from the group consisting of strains 3A-P4 ATCC PTA-6506, 15A-P4 ATCC PTA-6507, and 22C-P1 ATCC PTA-6508 and mixtures thereof. 
   
   
       12 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the microorganism is strain 15A-P4 ATCC PTA-6507. 
   
   
       13 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the mixtures thereof comprise at least two strains. 
   
   
       14 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the strains comprise strain 22C-P1 ATCC PTA-6508 and strain 15A-P4 ATCC PTA-6507. 
   
   
       15 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the strains comprise 90% of the total count of strain 22C-P1 ATCC PTA-6508 and 10% of the total count of strain 15A-P4 ATCC PTA-6507. 
   
   
       16 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the strains comprise 10% of the total count of strain 22C-P1 ATCC PTA-6508 and 90% of the total count of strain 15A-P4 ATCC PTA-6507. 
   
   
       17 . A method of feeding one or more fowl, the method comprising feeding to the one or more fowl a combination comprising  Bacillus  strains 22C-P1 ATCC PTA-6508 and 15A-P4 ATCC PTA-6507. 
   
   
       18 . A method of feeding a pig, the method comprising feeding to the pig an isolated microorganism of the genus  Bacillus  selected from the group consisting of strains 3A-P4 ATCC PTA-6506, 15A-P4 ATCC PTA-6507, and 22C-P1 ATCC PTA-6508 and mixtures thereof. 
   
   
       19 . A method of feeding swine, the method comprising feeding to the swine one or more isolated microorganism of the genus  Bacillus  selected from the group consisting of strains 3A-P4 ATCC PTA-6506, 15A-P4 ATCC PTA-6507, and 22C-P1 ATCC PTA-6508 and mixtures thereof. 
   
   
       20 . A method of forming a direct-fed microbial, the method comprising:
 (a) growing, in a liquid nutrient broth, a  Bacillus  strain selected from the group consisting of strains 3A-P4 ATCC PTA-6506, 15A-P4 ATCC PTA-6507, and 22C-P1 ATCC PTA-6508; and   (b) separating the strain from the liquid to form the direct-fed microbial.   
   
   
       21 . A method of feeding swine, the method comprising feeding to the swine an isolated microorganism of the genus  Bacillus  selected from the group consisting of strains 3A-P4 ATCC PTA-6506, 15A-P4 ATCC PTA-6507, and 22C-P1 ATCC PTA-6508 and mixtures thereof. 
   
   
       22 . A method of forming a direct-fed microbial, the method comprising:
 (a) growing, in a liquid nutrient broth, a  Bacillus  strain 22C-P1 ATCC PTA-6508; and   (b) separating the strain from the liquid to form the direct-fed microbial.
