The invention discloses an
Enterococcus faecalis strain SBD, of which the collection number is CGMCC No.4848. The strain is a
Gram positive strain and is spherical according to observation with
microscope, and the strain does not form spores; the strain can well grow on a Mann, Rogosa and Sharpe (MRS)
agar plate and can grow into a round, smooth and raised
bacterial colony like a grey white
dew and with a
diameter of 0.5 to 1
millimeter within 48 hours; and the strain can grow in a facultatively anaerobic environment, the growth temperature range is from 10 to 50 DEG C, the
optimal growth temperature is 30 to 40 DEG C, and the growth pH value range is from 4 to 10 and the optimal pH value is 6.5. The bacterial preparation made by the strain is nontoxic and safe, can
resist gastric juice and cholate, has a strong inhibition effect on various harmful
bacteria and can be widely used in
livestock breeding industry (by directly adding into daily ration or drinking water of animals) to increase the
disease resistance in animals; and the preparation is expected to replace antibiotic for feed purpose and can obviously improve average weight of
weaned piglets, reduce a feed-to-meat ratio and improve
living environment of
livestock and therefore has a bright prospect.
