For all warm blooded animals (birds, dogs, cats, rabbits, etc.) Same beneficial probiotics as found in yogurt.

Lake’s LACTO-Plus are probiotics (live, naturally-occurring digestive microorganisms) that aid digestion, and may prevent digestive upsets by inhibiting the growth of disease causing organisms. Lake’s LACTO-Plus provides a guaranteed live microbial analysis of Lactobacillus Acidophilus and Bifidobacterium Bifidum (50/50) at two billion live organisms per gram.

For efficient digestion and maximum absorption of nutrients, it is essential that a balance of micro- organisms (microflora) be maintained. However, in this day and age, maintaining a normal healthy balanced intestinal tract is difficult. Under these circumstances the pathogenic bacteria may predominate the healthy bacteria growth, and create an "imbalance" which in turn may impair normal gut function and lead to various problems ranging from inefficient digestion and utilization of feed, to the inflammation of the intestine.

Combined, the advantages of these organisms include:

- The prevention of the colonization of the intestine by invading pathogenic bacteria or yeast's, with which they compete for nutrients and attachment sites.

- The production of acetic and lactic acids which lower the pH (increase the acidity) of the intestine, thus making the region undesirable for other possibly harmful bacteria.

- Assisting in nitrogen retention and weight gain in infants.

- The inhibition of bacteria which can alter nitrates in the intestine (derived from food or water) into potentially harmful nitrates.

- The production of B vitamins.

- Assisting in the dietary management of liver conditions.

- The Bifidobacterium Bifidum is considered to be an enzyme warehouse.

Lake’s recommended use:

LACTO-Plus for daily use in the water or feed of adult warm-blooded animals (including adult birds), when hand-rearing baby animals (including baby birds) or during digestive upsets of any warm-blooded animal (including digestive upsets in birds).

Also CRITICAL during stress conditions such as, during and after antifungal and antibiotic therapy, new arrivals, shipping, molting , breeding, feeding young, growth, injury, illness, and food soured in crop. These conditions can cause an imbalance of various types of microorganisms in the crop and digestive system. This imbalance may leave the birds susceptible to digestive problems. The use of these probiotics may prevent digestive upsets by maintaining a healthy digestive flora, thus inhibiting the growth of disease causing organisms (i.e. E. Coli, Salmonella, Pseudomonas, Klebsiella, and Staphylococcus).

Prevention is easier than the cure!
