Lactating ewes and their lambs were provided daily with two enteric capsules of a freeze-dried culture of selected strains of Lactobacillus acidophilus (1×10(9) colony-forming-units/dose), along with their normal diets, for a period of 120 days. Initially, the supplementation had a significant effect on the serum cholesterol levels of the suckling lambs, but the benefit was reduced after weaning. On slaughter at 120 days, the mean cholesterol concentrations in three cuts of lamb meat were reduced by over 20%, and that in the liver by ∼18%. In the Middle East where the consumption of lamb is high, this reduction could be beneficial for the consumer, and it is suggested that the potential value of probiotic cultures in ruminant nutrition merits further attention.
给哺乳期母羊及其羔羊每日提供两粒肠溶胶囊，其中含有嗜酸乳杆菌选定菌株的冻干培养物（1×10⁹ 菌落形成单位/剂量），同时给予它们正常饮食，持续120天。最初，这种补充剂对哺乳羔羊的血清胆固醇水平有显著影响，但断奶后这种益处有所降低。在120天时屠宰，三块羊肉切片中的平均胆固醇浓度降低了20%以上，肝脏中的胆固醇浓度降低了约18%。在羊肉消费量很高的中东地区，这种降低对消费者可能有益，并且有人提出益生菌培养物在反刍动物营养中的潜在价值值得进一步关注。
