The effect of live Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast in the diet of rams on the digestibility of nutrients, nitrogen and mineral retention, and blood serum biochemical parameters

Effects of yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae type boulardii CNCM I-1079) supplementation on growth performance and blood metabolites in Black Bengal goat kids

“…we found a significant (P<0.05) difference in blood level Mg concentrations in the YS group compared to the CD group at the end of the experiment. KOwAlIK et al (2016) found a similar tendency towards higher Mg concentrations in the YS group compared to the control group and also described that the composition of the diet might influence mg absorption. Usually, higher Mg absorption occurs during acidic fermentation in the intestine (YOUnES et al, 1996).…”

“…These results are supported by the findings of TrIPATHI et al (2008), where yeast supplementation did not affect urea concentration in the blood. Moreover, KOwAlIK et al (2016) found no effect of yeast supplementation on total protein concentration in the blood of lambs. Also, no effect was found from yeast supplementation on cholesterol and total glycerides in blood serum.…”

Effect of Probiotic and Amla Powder Supplementation on Metabolic Profile and Milk Production of Summer Stressed Buffaloes Residing in Heavy Metal Polluted Areas of Ludhiana

“…The mean values of plasma glucose, total cholesterol, globulin, creatinine and BUN in the buffaloes of the treatment group (Table 5) were significantly (P<0.05) lowered; and the mean values of plasma total protein, albumin, A: G ratio and BUN: Creatinine ratio in the buffaloes of the treatment group were significantly (P<0.05) increased in comparison to the control group at 15 th and 30 th day of supplementation. As per Kowalik et al (2016), the rams fed with yeast showed significant decrease in blood levels of total cholesterol and triglycerides which could be due to the changes in rumen fermentation. However, concentrations of plasma total protein, albumin, A: G ratio and BUN: creatinine ratio were significantly (P<0.05) increased by feeding Saccharomyces cerevisiae and amla powder.…”

“…The mean levels of Zn, Fe, Mn and Co in the milk of buffaloes of treatment group were significantly (P<0.01) higher on both 15 th and 30 th day of supplementation in comparison to the control group. Kowalik et al (2016) found the significant retention of Cu and Zn in the rams fed with Saccharomyces cerevisiae.…”
