Lactobacillus buchneri strain 40788

L. buchneri produces a protein called buchnericin, which is inhibitory to many pathogenic bacteria.
L. buchneri strain 40788 improves the digestibility of xylans, a type of carbohydrate found in fiber.
Increased ruminal fiber digestibility improves cattle efficiency especially in diets containing ethanol co-products.
Research trials have shown that cattle fed L. buchneri strain 40788 have improved weight gain and feed conversion.
