Abstract
A method for preparing, at an animal feedlot, a suspension of microaerophilic or anaerobic bacteria at a known, accurate concentration in anticipation of dispensing the suspension of bacteria into animal feed or drinking water. The method allows the livestock feedlot or poultry operators to maintain the suspension of bacteria in a substantially viable condition without significant loss of viability and without requiring constant or intermittent agitation after the suspension is created. Refrigeration of the suspension is also unnecessary if the suspension of bacteria is dispensed within a predetermined period of time after preparation.
