Provilan Vet: A 'Microbiome in a Bottle' for Veterinary Practices
Microbiomes are bustling ecosystems of microorganisms that exist in and on every animal's body, as well as on the surfaces they interact with. These intricate communities play a vital role in maintaining health and well-being. For veterinary professionals, leveraging the microbiome is key to advancing patient care and improving clinical outcomes.
Provilan Vet probiotic products offer a science-backed, non-invasive way to restore and maintain balance within these microbiomes, whether on the skin, in ears, eyes, or in the clinic environment. By integrating probiotics into your practice, you can help protect and enhance the health of your patients while reducing reliance on harsh chemicals or antibiotics.
What Is the Microbiome and Why Does It Matter?
Definition
The “microbiome” refers to the community of microorganisms - bacteria, fungi, viruses, and other microbes - that live in specific environments, including skin, gut, and indoor surfaces.
Importance
Balanced microbiomes are essential for immunity, infection prevention, and overall health. Disrupted microbiomes (dysbiosis) can lead to conditions like atopic dermatitis, yeast infections, ear infections, and systemic inflammation.
Probiotic Solutions for Veterinary Microbiomes
Probiotics introduce beneficial bacteria that restore microbial balance. Provilan Vet's topical and environmental probiotic solutions provide targeted support for animal health and clinic hygiene:
- Restoring the Skin Microbiome
- Skin microbiomes maintain barrier integrity, pH regulation, and hydration.
- Dysbiosis can lead to itching, inflammation, and secondary infections.
-
Provilan Vet’s skin sprays and shampoos promote skin healing and reduce irritation by introducing beneficial bacteria to outcompete pathogenic bacteria.
- Supporting Oral, Ear, and Eye Microbiomes
- Localised microbiomes play a role in preventing conditions like otitis externa, conjunctivitis, and periodontal disease.
-
Probiotic dental, ear, and eye care sprays restore balance in these sensitive areas, reducing the risk of infections and improving patient comfort.
- Enhancing the Environmental Microbiome
- Clinic hygiene practices often rely on chemical disinfectants, which indiscriminately kill microbes, reducing microbial diversity.
-
Provilan Vet probiotic cleaners improve air quality, reduce bio-allergens, and establish healthier microbial environments in exam rooms, kennels, and treatment areas.
Probiotic vs. Chemical Cleaning in Veterinary Clinics
The Problem with Chemical Cleaning
- Harsh disinfectants kill both beneficial and harmful microbes, pushing the pathogens to mutate and develop resistant strains.
- Chemical cleaning contributes to this antimicrobial resistance (AMR), a growing threat to animal and human health.
- Surfaces cleaned with anti-bacterial cleaning products are repopulated by an uncontrolled group of organisms when the cleaning product dries.
The Benefits of Probiotic Cleaning
- Probiotics outcompete harmful microbes by consuming their food sources (organic waste matter and bio-allergens) and occupying available space.
- To help do this, they produce multiple different enzymes as required, to break down the various molecules of organic waste matter.
- They create stable microbial ecosystems that reduce infection risks and eliminate odours without harmful residues.
- Results are longer-lasting compared with chemical cleaners. Probiotics continue to work for up to 72 hours after application, offering a protective bio-layer to that surface.
- Veterinary practice sustainability is greatly enhanced though reduced use of harsh chemicals.
Note: If chemical cleaning is legally required, probiotic cleaning can be integrated into chemical cleaning protocols to restore the microbiome.
Clinical Benefits of Probiotic Care
- Faster Healing
- Skin, ear, and dental conditions improve as probiotics restore balance and reduce inflammation.
- Reduced Antibiotic Reliance
- By preventing infections at the source, probiotics support antimicrobial stewardship, preserving the effectiveness of vital treatments.
- Enhanced Patient Comfort
- Probiotic solutions alleviate itching, inflammation, and irritation without causing harm by simply outcompeting the pathogens and breaking down the bio-allergens causing the discomfort.
- Reduced Chemical Exposure
- Probiotic cleaners reduce chemical exposure for animals, staff, and clients while improving indoor air quality.
Integrating Probiotics into Veterinary Protocols
Step 1: Use targeted topical probiotic sprays for skin, ears, and eyes as part of your routine treatment plans.
Step 2: Educate clients on the benefits of probiotics for at-home care. For example, provide probiotic shampoo and sprays to extend the effects of in-clinic treatments and probiotic dental care for maintaining oral health.
Step 3: Replace traditional chemical disinfectants with probiotic cleaning products for floors, kennel areas, and waiting areas.
