 Some protective effect against the yeast "Candida albicans" has been found in mice, but in this case, "L. reuteri" did not work as well as other probiotic organisms, such as "L. acidophilus" and "L. casei".In juvenile commercial livestock, such as turkey poults and piglets, body weight and growth rate are good health indicators.Animals raised in the dirty, crowded environments of commercial farms are generally less healthy (and therefore weigh less) than their counterparts born and bred in cleaner spaces.
