Andrey Nagdalian Thanks for your response. That's a great one.

Karen A. Darbinyan

The probiotics is future. Only reason that in any type of animal if we count own cells and number of microorganisms on it we will see that the number of microbial cell hundreds times higher than own cells. And it can be confusing but reality will be that all depends not from animal cells but from microbiota and its function in animal organism.

Thanks Karen A. Darbinyan
