The meaning of probiotics has been altered with expanding information in the field of how they work. (Thantsha, 2012) The term is gotten from the Greek language meaning 'for life. In the past, there have been many endeavors to characterize the term probiotic, one of the first being portrayed by Lilly and Stillwell in 1965 (Thantsha, 2012) . They defined probiotics as “substances secreted by one microorganism, which stimulates the growth of another”. The focal point of this definition was to recognize them and clarify that they are something contrary to antibiotics. Hence, in 1974, Parker characterized them as “organisms and substances which contribute to intestinal microbial balance” (Schrezenmier & de Vrese, 2001). In 1989, Fuller tried to improve on Parker’s definition by proposing the following definition: “live microbial feed supplement, which beneficially affects the host (animal or human) by improving its intestinal microbial balance” (Salminen et al, 1999; Vilsiljevic & Shah, 2008). Then, Havenaar & Huis In’t Veld (1992) defined probiotics acceptably as ‘a viable mono- or mixed culture of microorganisms which applies to animal or man, beneficially affects the host by improving the properties of the indigenous microflora’. Schrezenmeir & de Vrese (2001) defined the term probiotic as “a preparation of or a product containing viable, defined microorganisms in sufficient numbers, which alter the microflora by implantation or colonization, in a compartment of the host and by that, exert beneficial effects on host health”. Among these depictions and definitions, there were numerous others,
