A breeding colony of lorises kept in the Institute for Functional Morphology at Ruhr-University Bochum got sick from 1995 on, after developing a dysbacteriosis. After diagnosis of an enteritis, a still relatively new treatment with the prebiotic t.p. was tried. The goal of the treatment was to re-establish the balance of the intestinal microflora determined in the status present, and to thus secure survival and improved health of the animals. In the literature part, the meaning of the intestinal microflora for different organs is described.
