[QUOTE="MrBilly, post: 30314, member: 87"] A checkoff sponsored study in which cattle were fed feed into which probiotics were added showed a 71 % decline in E. Coli 0157:H7 compared to those not given the material. Separately, the CDC, USDA, etc. reported that last year E.Coli 0157:H7 was down 37% from the previous year - a good sign that things are looking up and that people at all levels of the beef industry are taking this culprit seriously. Fastrack® is one such commercially available probiotic that is readily available. Their advertising says, "Fastrack® direct-fed microbials feature two lactic acid-producing bacteria, yeast, and fermentation products to aid in establishing healthy digestive systems in your animals. Yeast supplies B vitamins and digestive enzymes, enhances palatability, and stimulates activity of beneficial bacteria in the digestive tract."
