“…These studies indicated that stronger responses to prebiotic or probiotic treatments were achieved with animals that were challenged by multiple factors such as heat [45] and feed quality [17]. In the current study, impaired rumen function was detected as a lack of improvement in body condition or milk production after replacement of the mycotoxincontaminated diet with the commercial diet.…”

“…In monogastric livestock, probiotic and prebiotic feed additives mitigate pathogen issues in a number of ways including establishing beneficial bacteria in the intestinal tract [8,9], improving the ability of the mucosa to withstand infection [10,11,12], improving the defense system [8,9], binding toxins [3,4,13] and interfering with pathogen colonization sites [3,4,14]. Probiotics can improve milk production and rumen function in goats [15][16][17][18][19][20][21] with a 280-head commercial dairy herd were used in the study. The goats were housed in an open stall barn with ventilation and had continuous access to water.…”

The present study aims to investigate whether the disease complex for Haemorrhagic Enteritis (HE) in goats during the winter months is the same as described for Jejunal Haemorrhage Syndrome (JHS) in cattle. The further goal is to determine whether prebiotic and probiotic management strategies developed for JHS in cattle alleviate HE in goats. The clinical, necropsy and microbiologic findings were evaluated for goat cases during a natural HE outbreak. Bacterial pathogens were identified using selective media, biochemical tests, latex agglutination tests and DNA microarray. Feed components were evaluated for mycotoxigenic fungi and mycotoxins. Common clinical signs included stary look, grinding of teeth, an odd twisting of the neck when standing, hind-limb paralysis, rumen stasis, no faecal pellets, profuse drooling and a 50% drop in milk production. A prebiotic/probiotic treatment resolved the symptoms in 14 of 28 goats, but new cases continued to develop. The most common morphologic diagnosis at necropsy was severe jejunitis with intraluminal haemorrhage or blood clots confirming HE. The corn silage contained mycotoxigenic fungi and mycotoxins. There were mixtures of Shiga toxin -producing Escherichia coli (STEC) isolated from the jejunum. The probiotic and prebiotic acted as anti-adhesive agents for STEC colonization in vitro. The prebiotic also acted as a mycotoxin binder in vitro. Removing the mouldy corn silage stopped the mycotoxicosis, but did not correct production losses. Adding a prebiotic or probiotic significantly increased milk production and body condition, but also decreased somatic cell counts. Results confirm that the disease complex for HE in dairy goats consuming mouldy feeds includes mycotoxins and STEC infection. The study also supports the use of prebiotics and probiotics to alleviate the morbidity and production losses associated with the mycotoxicosis.

“…Nevertheless, the results on the use of yeasts in dairy goats were contradictory. So, while Hadjipanayiotou et al [13] reported no effects on intake, BW, milk yield or milk composition, Giger-Reverdin et al [11] observed a significant increase in fat corrected milk yield and fat content in dairy goats. Similar contradictory results in yeast supplementation were observed in dairy cows as a consequence of the differences in various factors such as the type of forage fed, feeding strategy, forage to concentrate ratio and stage of lactation [9,20,23,25].…”

“…However, the results on the use of S. cerevisiae in dairy cows [9,20,23] and dairy goats [11,13] are also contradictory. Dietary factors such as forage concentrate ratio and forage type are important in determining the response to malate and yeast culture supplementation [20], which may explain the contradiction found in the results of the previous studies.…”

Effects of adding a mixture of malate and yeast culture (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) on milk production of Murciano-Granadina dairy goats

-Twenty-four Murciano-Granadina dairy goats were used to investigate the effects of supplementation with a mixture of malate and yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) on milk production. The goats were machine milked once a day after parturition and were assigned to two balanced groups on week 4 of lactation. The experimental groups were kept separately in pens and were fed a daily diet based on a dehydrated forage mixture (alfalfa hay: maize whole plant, 1:1) ad libitum, 0.3 kg alfalfa pellets and 0.2 kg barley grain. The basal diet was completed with 0.6 kg concentrate pellets fed individually. Two different dietary treatments were randomly assigned to each goat group: control (without supplementation) and supplemented (with a mixture of malate and yeast included in the concentrate at a level of 10 g·kg -1 ). Feed intake, milk yield, milk composition and body weight were evaluated from week 4 to 16 of lactation. Malate content of the control and supplemented concentrate was 2.4 and 6.0 g·kg -1 DM, respectively. Supplementation with the malate and yeast culture mixture did not affect (P > 0.05) feed intake (2.04 vs. 2.03 kg DM·d -1 ), milk yield (2.09 vs. 2.08 L·d -1 ), milk fat (5.17 vs. 4.85%), milk protein (3.70 vs. 3.63%) or milk casein (2.57 vs. 2.51%) for the control vs. the supplemented goats, respectively. Nevertheless, the supplemented goats gained more body weight than the control goats (39 vs. 19 g·d -1 ; P < 0.05). We conclude that supplementation with the mixture of malate and yeast culture, under the conditions of our experiment, had no beneficial effects on the performance of dairy goats. The relatively high contents of malic acid in the forage mixture (7.3 g·kg -1 DM) and in the alfalfa pellets (14.2 g·kg -1 DM) may have decreased the response to malate in the supplemented diet. sur la production laitière chez la chèvre Murciano-Granadina. Vingt-quatre chèvres laitières Murciano-Granadina ont été utilisées pour étudier les effets de la supplémentation d'un mélange de malate et de levure (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) sur la production du lait. Les chèvres étaient traites à la machine, une fois par jour, dès la mise bas et ont été réparties dans deux groupes équilibrés à partir de la quatrième semaine de lactation. Les lots expérimentaux ont été logés séparément et la ration de base journalière était constituée d'un mélange de fourrages déshydratés (foin de luzerne:maïs plante entière, 1:1) distribué ad libitum, 0,3 kg de pellets de foin de luzerne déshydratée et 0,2 kg d'orge en grain. La ration de base a été enrichie par 0,6 kg de concentré d'une façon individuelle. Deux traitements différents ont été appliqués aléatoirement à chaque groupe de chèvres : régime témoin (sans supplément) et régime supplémenté (avec mélange de malate et de levure inclus dans le concentré à un niveau de 10 g·kg -1 ). L'ingestion, la production de lait, la composition du lait et le poids vif ont été évalués de la 4 e à la 16 e semaine de lactation. Les concentrations en malate dans le concentré témoin et supplémenté ...
