Hi
In my PhD I worked about pediocin production from local isolate of Pediococcus acidilactici and It used in keep some foods (cheese and meat)
I dont know about horses, but in cattle there is a product called 'micro cell LA' which is used to prevent acidosis. it is a Lactobacillus acidophilus strain BT1386 and it proposed used is 500 millions CFU per head per day. Then for your how long question, it would depend on the desired effect o your probiotic strain... as probiotic will not colonise the intestine and hence only be transitory (usually cleared in 3 days afte stopping ingestion) you will have to administer them for as long as you want your effects.
Martin Furr did a study on this topic. He is on Research Gate as well - so why not contact him?
