The species exert beneficial effect on the health of animals gastrointestinal tract and the microecology balance. Many research interests are focused on the Bacillus probiotics for their advantage of alternative to antibiotics in feed.Spores of Bacillus were found that they could germinate and proliferate in vivo, and that their physiological activities, such as immunological enhancement, modulation of intestinal microflora and enzyme activities, could be released through spore germination. According to the newest research, the progress of the application and mechanism on Bacillus probiotics is reviewed in the paper.
