Abstract

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of a Saccharomyces cerevisiae culture on performance, nutrient apparent digestibility and serum biochemical and immune indices of Holstein lactating dairy cows. Forty-five Holstein dairy cows with similar milk yield, parity and lactation days were randomly assigned into 3 groups with 15 replicates per group and 1 cow per replicate. Cows in the control group were fed a basal diet, and cows in trial group Ⅰ and trial group Ⅱ were fed the basal diets supplemented with 1% and 2% concentrate of Saccharomyces cerevisiae culture, respectively. The pre-trial period lasted for 10 days, and the trial period lasted for 60 days. The results showed as follows:1) the milk yield of group Ⅱ was significant higher than that of control group and group Ⅰ (P<0.01). Meanwhile, compared with the control group, the milk yield of group Ⅰ increased by 0.36 kg/d, but the difference was not significant (P>0.05). 2) Compared with the control group, the dry matter intake of group Ⅰ and group Ⅱ increased by 0.22 and 0.46 kg/d, respectively, but the difference was not significant (P>0.05). There were no significant differences in milk composition and feed efficiency among all groups (P>0.05). 3) The dry matter apparent digestibility of group Ⅰ and group Ⅱ was significantly higher than that of control group (P<0.05); the crude protein apparent digestibility of group Ⅱ was significantly higher than that of control group (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the apparent digestibility of neutral detergent fiber and acid detergent fiber among all groups (P>0.05). 4) The serum alanine transferase activity of group Ⅰ and group Ⅱ was significant lower than that of control group (P<0.01), the serum immunoglobulin G content of group Ⅱ was significant higher than that of control group (P<0.01), there were no significant differences in the other serum biochemical and immune indices among all groups (P>0.05). In conclusion, diets supplemented with 2% concentrate of Saccharomyces cerevisiae culture can significantly improve the performance of lactating dairy cows, improve the body immune function, and increase the economic benefits of farms.
