The Effects of Diamond V XP (Sacchaomyces cerevisiae) Complete Yeast Product Added to Dairy Cattle Rations on Milk Production and Milk Fat
Abstract :
This study was conducted to determine the effects of complete yeast product Diamond V XP (Sacchaomyces cerevisiae) as a feed additive on milk production and milk fat in dairy cows. 80 Holstein dairy cows in early lactation period were used as animal material in this study. The experiment lasted in 40 days. While control group which were not included yeast culture, the treatment group consisted of an intake of Diamond V XP (60g/head/day) yeast culture with concentrate feed. In the experiment, all the dairy cattle were fed with a diet consisting of 10 kg/head sugar beep pulp, 9.5 kg/head commercial dairy feed (%19 Crude proteins, 2800 ME Kcal/kg) and free wheat straw. Milk fat was not influenced by Diamond V XP supplementation. However milk production was both numerically and statistically higher in Diamond V XP group. Average milk productions in control and treatment groups were determined as 19.35 and 20.13 kg/day respectively (P 0.0001). In conclusion, the addition of Diamond V XP to dairy cows rations in early lactation period increased the efficiency of milk production without any negative effect on animal health and performance.
