Description
Mengyao Ma and co-authors fed in 2026 adult beagle dogs a supplement of postbiotics made from Bifidobacterium animalis for 42 days. Postbiotics are non-living bacterial products that may benefit health without the storage problems of live probiotics. Dogs received a plain diet or one of two supplement doses.
Growth and routine blood measures did not change, yet several health markers improved. Antibody levels rose, while inflammatory signals such as tumor necrosis factor fell in both dose groups. Defense enzymes against oxidative damage climbed, and bone formation markers rose at the higher dose. Coat quality improved, with smoother hair cuticles and richer amino acid content. Stool chemistry and gut bacteria also shifted toward a friendlier mix, with more helpful species and fewer potential pathogens.
