Enterococcus
Enterococcus is a genus of gram-positive, facultatively anaerobic lactic-acid bacteria, notable for tolerating bile salts, a wide pH range and temperatures that most lactic-acid bacteria do not survive. That robustness is why selected strains are used in feed and silage. The genus includes both strains approved as feed additives and clinically significant species, so strain identification - not genus alone - defines the product.

Application / Intended Use
Enterococcus strains are used as feed probiotics and silage inoculants. In animal nutrition they are included in piglet and calf diets to stabilise gut flora during weaning; in silage they accelerate the initial pH drop. Strain identity matters here more than in most products, because the genus includes both approved feed strains and clinically relevant species.
