This book is written by authors from America, Europe and Asia, yet, the editor has tried arrange the book chapters in a issue order to make it easier for the readers to find what they need. However, the reader can still find different approaches on probiotics use in animals. The scientists selected to publishing of this book were guests due to their recognized expertise and important contributions on fields in which they are acting. Without these scientists, their dedication and enthusiasm the publishing this book would have not been possible. I recognize their efforts in the attempt to contribute to animals production contributing thus to the developing Human and I´m very gratefully for that. This book will hopefully be of help to many scientists, doctors, pharmacists, chemicals and other experts in a variety of disciplines, both academic and industrial. It may not only support research and development, but also be suitable for teaching. I would like to thank Professor Fernando Antonio de Ávila by his life lessons and also by he to be my scientific mentor. Finally, I would like to thank my daughter Maria Eduarda and my wife Fernanda for their patience and also my son that is coming and in this moment is inside of X Preface comfortable womb. I extend my apologies for many hours spent on the preparation of my chapter and the editing of this book, which kept me away from them.
