| Abstract: | This study investigated the effects of bovine lactoferrin (BLf) on the growth of different groups of bacteria in vitro. BLf
showed a significant inhibitory effect on the growth of selected pathogens but not probiotics. BLf, in combination with probiotics,
has the potential to influence the composition of the gut microflora via inhibition of intestinal pathogens with no significant
effect on probiotic bacteria. |
