Abstract
The objective of this meta-analysis was to analyze the effect of feeding live yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) on feed intake (FI), lactation performance (LP), rumen fermentation (RF), and rumen microbiota (RM) in dairy cattle. We performed a literature search using the Boolean search approach with MeSH keywords, including live yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, S. cerevisiae, feed intake, lactation, performance traits, rumen, fermentation, microbiota, and cattle. Twenty-five (25) articles published contained at least data on feed intake, lactation performance or milk production parameters, rumen fermentation or digestibility, and rumen microbiota measured for experiments involving dairy animals have been selected. Microsoft Excel performed data extraction and organization, and statistical analysis was performed using SPSS. Few studies have observed a negative impact of the LY on the FI (8%), LP (12%), RF (4%), and RM (8%), but the majority of the selected studies reported a positive impact of adding LY (FI: 36%, LP: 52%, RF: 52% and RM: 40%). Cows supplemented with LY showed a marginal decrease in feeding rate; min/d (0.13 vs. 0.14; p=0.65), interval between meals; min (142.1 vs. 1603, p=0.09), meal size; kg of DM/meal (3.4 vs. 3.8, p=0.09), meal duration; min/meal (32.5 vs.35.3, p=0.39), lying boots; no/d (9.5 vs. 9.6, p=0.83), eating boot; bout/day (80.7 vs.8.26, p=0.24), and lying time; min/d (671.1 vs. 697.5, p=0.51). However, LY increases feeding duration; min/d (232.0 vs.226.6, p=0.65), meal frequency; meal/d (9.0 vs.7.8, p=0.07), rumination; min/d (570.3 vs. 344.9, 344.9, p=0.08), and meal criterion with significance; min (20.0 vs. 25.8, p=0.04). Meta-regression of the covariate effect shows that using live yeast products in the cattle diet significantly increased the Lactation Performance (p=.001) and Feed Intake (p=.001). However, it enabled a higher average ruminal Fermentation (p=.005) and microbiota (p=.003). Furthermore, the timing of live yeast culture before calving could influence the performance and ruminal parameters, especially the microbiomes (p=0.006). A little increase in milk yield (1.4kg/day) and lower SCS(somatic cells score (2.76) were observed in LY. This meta-analysis indicated feeding live yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) could improve feeding behaviour, animal performance, and herd productivity (milk and rumen health). However, further research is required to study its effect on feed intake and rumen microbiota in dairy cattle.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Animal Behaviour and Biometeorology (ISSN 2318-1265) is the official journal of the Center for Applied Animal Biometeorology (Brazil) currently published by Malque Publishing. Our journal is published quarterly, where the published articles are inserted into areas of animal behaviour, animal biometeorology, animal welfare, and ambience: farm animals (mammals, birds, fish, and bees), wildlife (mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, and amphibians), pets, animals in zoos and invertebrate animals. The publication is exclusively digital and articles are freely available to the international community. Manuscript submission implies that the data are unpublished and have not been submitted for publication in other journals. JABB publishes original articles in the form of Original Articles, Short Communications, and Reviews. Original Articles arising from research work should be well grounded in theory and execution should follow the scientific methodology and justification for its objectives; Short Communications should provide sufficient results for a publication in accordance with the Research Article; Reviews should involve the relevant scientific literature on the subject. JABB publishes articles in English only. All articles should be written strictly adopting all the rules of spelling and grammar.
