YEAST CULTURES For DAIRY & BEEF CATTLE

Yeast cultures have been added to rations for dairy and beef cattle for years. Although their exact effect in the rumen is not totally known, it has been proven the cultures increase viable bacteria numbers, which in turn have positive effects on production. The cellulolytic bacteria numbers can be increased by as much as 40%. The use of yeast culture tends to increase the percent of bacteria, which are cellulolytic. Because yeast culture is not cellulolytic, the yeast may provide stimulatory factors for cellulolytic bacteria, such as B vitamins or branched chain VFA. Yeast culture provides factors stimulatory toward proteolytic bacteria. Hemicellulose digestibility can be increased as much as 6.5% with the yeast culture supplements. Increased digistibility of structural carbohydrates is concurrent with increased numbers and proportion of cellulolytic organisms and the tendency toward reduced particulate and liquid passage rates. The addition of viable fungal supplements containing yeast culture to the diets of cattle fed moderate amounts of concentrate is a means to increase digestibility of the structural carbohydrate portion of the ration.

YEAST CAN

Ø CHANGE THE FERMENTATION PATTERN IN THE RUMEN.

Ø DOUBLE THE ANAEROBIC AND CELLULOLYTIC BACTERIA,

Ø INCREASE TOTAL VFA AND PROPIONATE

Ø DECREASE THE ACETATE RATIO

Ø CAUSE RUMINAL FERMENTATION TO BE MORE STABLE

Ø IMPROVE MILK & BUTTERFAT PRODUCTION EVEN IN TIMES OF STRESS

Ø HELP YOUR COWS GET MORE FROM YOUR RATIONS

WHEN SHOULD YEAST BE ADDED TO DAIRY & BEEF RATIONS?

Ø Any time, improved production is desired.

Ø For cows in early lactation, to better utilize rations fed for maximum production

Ø During periods of stress when milk and butterfat production normally decline.

Ø For cows in late lactation, while trying to maintain production and feed efficiency.

Ø During periods when only poor quality roughages are available.

Ø During periods when rations contain high percentages of roughages.

Ø For developing and growing heifers.

Ø For newly freshened first calf heifers experiencing their first lactation.

DIGESTIBILITY IS IMPROVED WITH YEAST

In this study dairy heifers received yeast culture as part of their ration. Heifers receiving the yeast culture demonstrated--

4% improved digestion of dry matter

5% improved digestion of protein

4% improved digestion of acid detergent fiber

EARLY LACTATION STUDY

In this study, dairy cows in early to early lactation were selected. All animals were fed a regular production ration ad liberum with the test animals also receiving 2 lbs./ton dehydrated Saccharomyces cervisiae. The effects of yeast culture on milk production resulted in

An additional 6.2 lbs. milk per day.

0.22 lbs. of additional butterfat per day.

LATE LACTATION STUDY SHOWS SIMILAR IMPROVEMENTS WHEN

YEAST IS USED IN THE MILKING RATION

Cows in late lactation and having lower production were tested using a control and another group receiving yeast culture. A response was recorded for both milk (+2.0 Lb.) and butterfat (+0.22 Lb.) production
