“…In the present study, milk protein also increased in the SC, BS and mixed groups. This result is consistent with that of previous studies, which reported enhanced milk protein due to SC (Piret, Toomas, Andres, Raivo, & Kalle, 2009) and BS (Sun et al, 2013). There were some differences in DMI and milk performance between different probiotic treatments.…”

In this study, we investigated the effects of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (SC), Bacillus subtilis (BS) and Enterococcus faecalis (EF), singly and in combination, on the dry matter intake (DMI), milk production and composition, and faecal microflora of Saanen dairy goats. Fifty goats were randomly divided into five groups: (a) basal diet (control);(b) basal diet + SC; (c) basal diet + BS; (d) basal diet + EF; and (e) basal diet + mixed probiotics. Each treated animal received 5 g/d of probiotics for a total administration of 5 × 1,011 CFU/goat per day. The inclusion of B. subtilis and E. faecalis in the diet of lactating Saanen goats increased DMI (p < .05). Enhanced milk yield was observed with BS and EF. Milk fat percentage was significantly increased by feeding mixed probiotics compared with the control (p < .05); supplying SC, BS and mixed probiotics enhanced the protein percentage (p < .05). The milk lactose percentage in the SC and BS groups was higher than in the control (p < .05). The amount of milk total solids was higher after feeding EF or mixed probiotics than in the control group (p < .05). Non-fat solids showed no notable differences among groups (p > .05). There was no significant influence on gut bacterial abundance and diversity from adding these three probiotics, singly or in combination. Bacteroidales, Escherichia-Shigella and Christensenellaceae abundances were decreased by supplying these probiotics but Succinivibrionaceae increased. In conclusion, there were positive influences of probiotic feed supplementation on intake, milk performance and intestinal microecology.

“…This finding came in agreement with some previous studies referring that the calving -first service and calving -conception intervals were shorter in cattle supplemented by yeast culture than those nonsupplemented (Abdel-Khalek, 2003;Ibrahim, 2004;Komonna, 2007;Abdel-Rahman et al, 2012;Mousa et al, 2012;Ramosi et al, 2012). Such finding might be attributed either to stimulation of the immune system (Rodrigues et al, 2000;Young, 2012) or improvement of the health condition of the supplemented cows by yeast culture (Kalmus et al, 2009).…”

Key words: ABSTRACT:Reproductive performances Dairy cows Immunostimulant Celmanax Transition periodThe present study is a trial to improve the reproductive performance of dairy cows following the administration of an immune-stimulant prebiotic drug during the transition period. A total number of 30 dairy cows, 3-8 years old and 1-6 parities, were assigned into two comparable groups: 20 cows were taken Celmanax, as a immune-stimulant prebiotic drug, and 10 cows were left as control. The obtained results showed a non-significant reduction in the rate of retained placenta and the number of service/conception, significant shortness in time of uterine involution and the days open as well as improvement of the conception rate for the treated rather than for the non-treated dairy cattle. The serum IgG and IgM increased, while the serum Nitric oxide decreased from the 30 th day before to the 15 th day after parturition in the treated group. From the present study, it can be concluded that supplementation of dairy cattle by Celmanax, as an immunopotentiating factor, helps in improvement of the reproductive performance of the dairy cattle incorporation with the increase in the serum immune-stimulant responses of IgG / IgM and the decrease in the serum nitric oxide.

“…This observation agrees with the shortened interval from parturition to effective mating of New-Zealand×Californian rabbit does with Toyocerin ® observed by Nicodemus et al (2004). On the other hand, it contrasted with the results of Kalmus et al (2009), who reported no effect of yeast supplementation on resumption of ovarian activity in dairy cows. Our results showed that fertility of rabbits does improved in the S group during the 2 nd cycle compared to the first one (92.3 to 95.8%.…”

A study was conducted to determine the effect of live yeast supplementation in the diet of rabbit does on their mortality and reproductive performance and the performance of their progeny. A total of 52 cross-bred rabbit does (New Zealand×Californian) were divided into 2 groups differing in diet offered during 2 reproductive cycles and containing (group S; n=26) or not (group C; n=26) 1 g of yeast (Actisaf Sc 47, S.I. LESAFFRE, France)/kg of feed. Natural mating was performed 11 d after kindling and kits were weaned at 28 d of age. Body weight of litters was measured at birth, 21 d and at 28 d of age (weaning). Mortality of kits and rabbit does was monitored daily, and fertility of rabbit does and viability rate of kits at birth were also determined. Weight and litter size at birth and at weaning, litter weight gain during lactation and length of gestation were similar between the 2 groups during the 2 cycles. The mortality of does during the experiment was higher in group C than in group S (27 vs. 4%; P<0.05). Fertility rate of rabbits does and viability rate of kits at birth were higher (P<0.05) in rabbits fed with the supplemented diet than those with the control diet during the second lactation. In the first cycle, kit mortality was lower in S group (15.5%) than the C group (24.7%) during the first 21 d (P<0.05). However, no difference was observed during the second lactation. In conclusion, our results suggest that the inclusion of yeast in the diet of rabbit does could trigger positive effects on the fertility and mortality of rabbit does, as well as on the viability rate of kits at birth.

Effect of yeast culture on milk production and metabolic and reproductive performance of early lactation dairy cows

Abstract: Background: The main objective of this study was to estimate the effect of supplementation with Saccaromyces cerevisiae (SC) (Yea-Sacc ® 1026) on milk production, metabolic parameters and the resumption of ovarian activity in early lactation dairy cows.
