The Probiotic Concept
Using Probiotic as a Cleaning
Agent to:
*Control pathogens – Reduced mortality
*Improved Food to Weight
conversion – Improved Profitability
*Reduced Odours – Better Environment
*Reduced Antibiotics – Improve quality
The Probiotic Concept
Principle behind this
Probiotic Concept
Or
How does it work?
Eric van den Heuvel
Dan Kirschner
The Probiotic Concept
Three Core Products
Desired and
undesired bacteria
Adding desired bacteria
In the house
Cleaner:
•Detergent
+
•Probiotic
bacteria
The Probiotic Concept
Spray:
•Probiotic
bacteria
only
In the
drinking lines
Drinking
lines
cleaner:
Probiotic
bacteria
only
Old system:
Bacteria are being killed
Chemical detergent
Antibiotics
Disinfection
Result: Resistance of pathogenic bacteria!!!
For example MRSA, ESBL, Ehec Bacteria
The Probiotic Concept
We should start
controlling bacteria
Biofilm
In the farm
The Probiotic Concept
In the drinking lines
What happens with the use of disinfectants
and/or
the use of antibiotics?
Desired and undesired
bacteria
The Probiotic Concept
Most resistant
bacteria remain
Lot’s of space to
grow
Control Bacteria with
the Probiotic Concept
Desired and
undesired bacteria
The Probiotic Concept
Adding desired bacteria
No room for
undesired bacteria to
develop
Cleaning the drinking lines:
Dosing 1:10,000 all drinking lines
Cleaning the house and sow:
- remove bulky dirt
- foam and wait for a few minutes
- wash with high pressure
- normally no need for disinfecting
- wash the sow (M v A?)
Note: Foam without protective clothing
The Probiotic Concept
Maintain healthy microflora by spraying the bacteria
regularly throughout the farm. Frequent may vary!

The Probiotic Concept
The Probiotic Concept
Better health for human, animal
and environment
A total concept with many advantages
Lower risk to get MRSA and other zoonoses
Hardly any antibiotics needed
No disinfectants needed
Less smell
Less dust
Reduction of ammonia
Less endotoxins
The Probiotic Concept
Happy Animals Yield More
Managing health with respect for human, animal and environment
The Probiotic Concept
Where else is the Probiotic
Concept implemented
Hotels
Nurseries
Trains
Gyms
The Probiotic Concept
Chicken farms
Case Study

The Probiotic Concept
* Meet my family
 Eric van den Heuvel (50 yrs)
 Married with Ine (51 yrs)
 3 Children
 Gert (24 yrs)
 Marieke (18 yrs)
 Eveline (12 yrs)
The Probiotic Concept
*October 2003 daughter Eveline planned to
have 2nd open heart surgery
*Due to life threatening situation Eveline
had to be operated 3 months later
*With pre-operation check:
MRSA positive
*Result: being sent home and no operation
The Probiotic Concept
The beginning of the MRSA problems
Wait, wait, wait…
The Probiotic Concept
We get two weeks to become
MRSA free
 Wash with Hibiscrub 3x
per week
 Nasal ointment bactroban
2x per day
 Mouth/throat wash
corsodyl 4x per day
The Probiotic Concept
Finally 14 days later she can
be operated
The Probiotic Concept
STRAIN DETERMINATION
Every hospital has its own strain. The strain
of Eveline was not traceable!
Where does this MRSA strain come from?
1st name: NT-MRSA
Microbiologist: Dr. Andreas Voss
The Probiotic Concept
Samples tested for MRSA.
December 2004
25 pig farmers from study group
5 positive.
This is 20%
Dutch population lower than 0,1% !
Conclusion:
There seems to be a connection
between MRSA prevalence and pigs.
