The technology described herein is directed to compositions and methods for modulating serotonin in a subject. Described herein are compositions comprising viable or non-viable serotonin modulating bacteria, conditioned medium(s) of serotonin-modulating bacteria, cell pellet(s) of serotonin modulating bacteria, and/or metabolites and/or proteins derived from serotonin-modulating bacteria. Also described herein are methods of treating serotonin-related disease or disorders.

Various embodiments of the invention relate to compositions comprising vitamins, minerals and trace elements, antioxidants, amino acids, probiotics, and other components and methods for using such compositions to treat or prevent diseases associated with oxidative stress, including cardiovascular disease.

The present invention relates to the development of a targeted delivery system for the oral delivery of probiotics or therapeutic agent for various indications, including and not limited to active and prophylaxis treatment of Clostridium difficile infection, antibiotic associated diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn's disease, intestinal flora replacement, supplemental flora treatments for patients taking antibiotics, and for restoration of balance and signaling between the intestinal microbiome and the intestinal cells in patients under treatment of metabolic syndrome manifestations, specifically diabetes, insulin resistance, obesity, hyperlipidemia and hypertension. The present invention restores altered probiotic organism imbalances that are characteristic of said diseases among others as well as defines a platform technology development for site specific delivery of probiotic organisms in the GI tract of a mammal, most specifically the ileum and/or right colon of a human subject.

The invention relates to methods for promoting SCFA production by gut microbiota by administering a liquid, water-based probiotic composition. The methods are particularly effective at promoting gut health. The invention further relates to methods of promoting intestinal barrier integrity, methods of promoting a tolerogenic gut phenotype, and methods of treating Parkinson's Disease.

A method of treating a condition and/or a symptom associated with an effect of at least one element of the endocannabinoid system in an animal, the method including administering to the animal (i) a therapeutically effective amount of at least one microorganism and/or of a prebiotic thereof, where the microorganism is capable of modulating an effect of at least one element of the endocannabinoid system of the animal and (ii) a therapeutically effective amount of at least one compound capable of modulating an effect of at least one element of the endocannabinoid system of the animal. Further provided are compositions for use in such methods.

Disclosed is a piglet feed based on bacteria enzyme synergistic fermentation process. The piglet feed is composed of basic components and bacteria enzyme synergistic fermentation feed. Basic components include soybean protein concentrate, whey powder, fish meal, sodium chloride, choline chloride, stone powder, calcium hydrogen phosphate, composite vitamins, composite trace elements, and composite amino acids. The bacterial enzyme synergistic fermentation feed includes a fermentation substrate, an enzyme preparation, and a bacterial strain. The bacterial enzyme synergistic fermentation feed can not only improve the production performance of piglets, but also improve the utilization rate of feed nutrients, especially the utilization rate of feed phosphorus, thereby reducing the excretion of phosphorus in feces.
