Fermentation’s role in antibiotic reduction

Knowledge about the fermentation processes is rather new, although it has been used for thousands of years in preparation and conservation. In the biotechnology industry, fermentation introduces new health-promoting qualities to feed, reducing the overall need for antibiotics. The growth of micro-organisms is associated with metabolic processes. The processes breakdown carbohydrates, proteins and lipids in the feed material and they release energy. When the metabolic processes of the micro-orga
