Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of active dry yeast on growth performance, nutrient apparent digestibilities, rumen fermentation parameters and serum biochemical and antioxidant indexes of Simmental crossbred cattle. Thirty healthy Simmental crossbred cattle (Simmental cattle×local yellow cattle) growing bulls with similar age (10 months) and body weight[(317.00±19.25) kg] were randomly divided into 2 groups with 15 cattle per group. Cattle in the control group were fed a basal diet, and cattle in the experimental group were fed the basal diet supplemented with 0.1% active dry yeast (dry matter basis). The pre-test period was 15 days and the formal test period was 90 days. The results showed as follows:1) the average daily gain of experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05), and the feed to gain ratio was significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.05). 2) The apparent digestibilities of dry matter, neutral detergent fiber and acid detergent fiber of experimental group were significantly higher than those of the control group (P<0.05), and the crude protein apparent digestibility was trend to higher than that of the control group (P=0.075). 3) The contents of microbial protein and propionic acid in rumen of experimental group were significantly higher than those of the control group (P<0.05), the ammonia nitrogen content and acetic acid/propionic acid in rumen were significantly lower than those of the control group (P<0.05), and the rumen total volatile fatty acid content was trend to higher than that of the control group (P=0.097). 4) The serum urea nitrogen content of experimental group was significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.05), and the serum glucose content was trend to higher than that of the control group (P=0.079). 5) The serum catalase activity of experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05), and the serum total antioxidant capacity was trend to higher than that of the control group (P=0.052). In conclusion, dietary supplemented with 0.1% active dry yeast can improve the nutrient apparent digestibilities of Simmental crossbred cattle during fattening period, promote the rumen fermentation to propionic acid type, so as to improve the growth performance of Simmental crossbred cattle.
