8. What is the difference
between Probiotics and Antibiotics?
A problem with antibiotics is the possible emergence of “super
bugs,” which are resistant to the effects of the antibiotics and
would make antibiotics useless in protecting the health of animals.
Because Probiotics use microorganisms that are naturally found in the
body, there are no negative effects.

9. Is it possible
to use both Probiotics and Antibiotics?
Yes, most antibiotics target gram-negative bacteria, which are different
than the gram-positive bacteria or yeast used in Probiotics. As long
as the antibodies do not target the same bacteria or yeast used in Probiotics,
they should be compatible.

10. Can animals get
sick from using Probiotics?
No, the microorganisms used in Probiotics are the same nonpathogenic
strains found in the body, which means that they cannot cause disease.

11. What is a Colony Forming
Unit (CFU)?
A CFU, or Colony Forming Unit, is a viable bacteria or yeast cell. Imagilin
Technology, LLC only measures viable cells. A total cell count, which
may include dead cells, can be misleading, since the
primary Probiotic effect is only determined by live cells.
