In
general, yeast supplementation has been shown to increase
ration palatability, which leads to increased feed intake.
It also improves digestibility of ingredients in the
ration and improves rumen function so that the livestock
can realize the nutritional benefits of increased feed
intake. Animals under stress from shipping, excessive
heat or other factors often will consume less feed thereby
depriving themselves of the very nutrients that could
help to ease the stress response. Getting the animals
to eat under stress, having those nutrients absorbed,
will help to alleviate the stress and therefore has
the benefit of reducing susceptibility to disease.
Levucell
SC Levucell®
SC is an active dry yeast for use as a direct-fed microbial
in ruminant feeds. Levucell® SC contains the CNCM
(pasteur Institute) I-10077 stain of Saccharomyces
cervisiae. It is produced from a specially selected
strains, has a well-understood mode of action, and provides
a consistently high concentration of pure viable yeast.
Levucell® SC can be used in most ruminant feeds
and is especially useful for early lactation dairy cows
and beef cattle finishing.
Microzyme (Nature's
Mill)
A source of live, active yeast
naturally-occuring microorganisms and supplemental enzyme
activity.
