ABSTRACT
Among proposed alternatives to antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs), most effective in improving of efficiency of farming and having positive impact on animal welfare are probiotic preparations containing selected strains of lactic acid bacteria (LAB). It is known that essential oils exert ability to inhibit pathogenic bacteria. The aim of this study was to assess the pos-sibility of enrichment of probiotic preparations for animals in selected substances of vegetable origin, in order to increase the effectiveness of antimicrobial activity LAB directed against pathogenic microorganisms. The impact of three selected essential oils (thyme, sage and peppermint) on the capacity to growth, viability and antibacterial activity of probiotic or potentially probiotic strains of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) was evaluated. The assessment of the antibacterial activity of the LAB was conducted in relation to the bacteria strains pathogenic for animals (indicatory strains). The results show that the reaction of lactic acid bacteria strains for the presence of vegetable oils is very individual, depending on both the strain and the type of oil. All the tested plant’s oils inhibited the growth of strains of lactic acid bacteria. The minimum inhibitory concentration of essential oils varied. In the case of peppermint oil and thyme oil LAB growth inhibition was observed at a concentration of 0.1% (v/v) and in relation to the sage oil this effect was found with 0.2 %.(v/v) average in medium. The viability of the tested LAB was observed in media containing higher concentrations up to several per cent of essential oils. In the presence of oils in concentrations affecting growth of LAB strains antimicrobial activity against pathogenic bacterial species was not observed. The addition of essential oils did not increase the antimicrobial activity of lactic acid bacteria. It was observed that some of indicatory pathogenic bacteria strains were resistant to higher dilution of oils than LAB. There was no synergistic interaction found between LAB and essential oils what suggest the possibility of using essential oils with LAB only to increase the flavor qualities of preparation which will contribute to a better feed intake by the farm animals.
