This is very good and accurate.
I do hope you plan on a future somewhere in the medical/research field!
Probiotic do restore the natural balance in the digestive tract, without it you have the complications of advance yeast infections accerating to fungal infections and root like structures penetrating the lining of the intestines, this breaks down the protective barrier between the intestinal tract and bloodstream, allowing many foreign and toxic substances to enter and pollute the body systemically.
This destroys a animals immune system, making it a cycle of more problems and infections, including reoccuring coccidia. Which when treated again is adding to the problem! Left untreated, these also can enter organs and the animals will die.
Even with successful infection treatment, many animals stop eating and waste away, the good bacteria is also a part of kicking off the digestive process, without them, the animals do not realize they are hungry. Cured of the initial problem, they die from complications of the exact thing that rid them of it...... Meds can and do cause what is called sterile gut, replacing those bacteria as they are killed with the coccidia or other bacterial infections and parasites is a simple solution to the immediate problem.
