PREBIOTICS VERSUS PROBIOTICS

Sure! Let's compare prebiotics and probiotics and understand their unique roles and benefits.

Prebiotics
Definition: Prebiotics are non-digestible food components that beneficially affect the host by stimulating the growth and/or activity of beneficial bacteria in the gut.

Source: Found in high-fiber foods such as garlic, onions, leeks, asparagus, bananas, and whole grains.

Function: They act as food for probiotics, supporting the growth of beneficial microorganisms in the intestines.

Benefits: Improve digestion, enhance the absorption of calcium, and may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease by lowering cholesterol levels.

Probiotics
Definition: Probiotics are live microorganisms that provide health benefits when consumed in adequate amounts.

Source: Present in fermented foods like yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, kimchi, and supplements.

Function: They help maintain a healthy balance of gut bacteria and can prevent and treat certain illnesses.

Benefits: Enhance digestive health, boost the immune system, reduce symptoms of some digestive disorders, and may improve mental health conditions.

Key Differences
Composition: Prebiotics are dietary fibers, while probiotics are live bacteria.

Function: Prebiotics serve as food for probiotics, while probiotics are the beneficial bacteria themselves.

Usage: Prebiotics can enhance the effectiveness of probiotics by providing them with the necessary nutrients to thrive.

Together, prebiotics and probiotics work synergistically to maintain a healthy gut microbiome. Their combination is often referred to as synbiotics.

Hope this clears up the differences and roles of prebiotics and probiotics for you!

Cluny Livestock Exports can provide advice to our clients on how to utilize synbiotics during the export process by air.

THE BENEFITS OF PREBIOTICS & PROBIOTICS DURING TRANSPORT & BEYOND

Probiotics
Improved Gut Health: Probiotics help maintain a balanced gut microbiota, which is crucial for overall health.

Enhanced Immune Function: They boost the immune system, making animals more resilient to diseases.

Reduced Stress: Probiotics can help reduce the stress response in animals, promoting better adaptation to the transport environment.

Decreased Pathogen Shedding: They reduce the shedding of harmful pathogens, improving herd health.

Better Nutrient Utilization: Probiotics improve digestion and nutrient absorption, leading to better growth rates and overall health.

Prebiotics
Supports Beneficial Gut Bacteria: Prebiotics nourish beneficial gut bacteria, promoting a healthy gut environment.

Pathogen Reduction: They help decrease the presence of harmful pathogens by enhancing the natural microflora.

Improved Feed Efficiency: Prebiotics can enhance feed conversion rates, ensuring animals get the most out of their feed.

Stabilizes Gut Environment: They help maintain a stable gut environment, which is especially important during the stress of transport.

One of the most important stages of livestock exports is the arrival of your livestock at the destination airport. Assuming you have a qualified customs clearance agent, an airport loading plan and proper trucks for transport to your facility what could go wrong? Quite a lot actually. Long journeys are a time of great stress for animals and proper planning can alleviate this.

It is important to understand the animal crates and how they can be safely lifted and by what equipment in terms of forklifts. It is important to understand proper loading of the trucks, separation of males and females, different weight groups. We advise our clients on how long livestock has been off water till the arrival of the plane. Additionally, the time for customs clearance should be considered and factored in. This leads into a vital task, the proper feeding and watering at the airport which requires some preparation, however, is an essential task, if the time off water exceeds safety limits and the next leg of the journey is a long distance to the destination facility. You should ask for a plan for this from your exporter, as it is your responsibility, to set up the last leg of the journey to ensure the safe arrival of your animals. The condition upon arrival will set up their breeding success and yours too. Happy animal happy client!

The ownership of the livestock actually passes to the client as the doors of the plane close at the airport of departure. This is under international trade terms Incoterms 2020, we are happy to advise best practice, however, the client is in control of the animals after the plane arrives.

It is highly inadvisable and even dangerous to give them unlimited water and feed upon arrival at the airport, it is also a bad idea to spray them with water in tropical or hotter climates, to cool them down for the journey or during it. This actually increases the animal's core temperature.

On the latter point spraying with water to cool animals, is a dangerous practice for various reasons. It is generally an official health protocol requirement, to treat animals with pour on chemicals to treat any possible external parasites including ticks. This is often done only days before departure and the chemicals can be organophosphates which are highly toxic if ingested internally. If animals become thirsty during long journeys and the animals that they travel with have water on their coats they will lick this off and ingest these toxic chemicals. The result of this can be general health issues and also ongoing problems during pregnancy.

Spraying water onto animals at airports or at any point in their journey, actually increases the core temperature of the livestock. This is the last thing you want.

Upon arrival at the airport animals should be allowed a short feed initially and then a small amount of water (not unlimited access). Allow the animals to rest for 10 minutes after initial water and feed, before allowing them to drink and eat as much as they require. Soluble prebiotic/probiotic solutions can easily be put into water at destination airport. Cluny Exports supplies written detailed plans for these tasks.

With prebiotics and probiotics used prior to air transport in Australian quarantine, during the flight and at the destination airport, healthy gut bacteria are kept in a healthy balance and are stabilized. The rumen being maintained in this way will greatly reduce stress for the animals and ensure the journey goes well.

Additionally trace mineral and prebiotic/probiotic lick blocks can be installed in the animal crates for the duration of the journey.

This process should be repeated upon arrival. Your success is our success and the animals we export and the clients we service deserve this.
