It also raised the persistence of the average curve of the lactation. The production of milk in the second 90 days of lactation was 95 percent compared to the first 90 days of lactation for the yeast culture cows, in contrast to 91 percent for the control cows. The increase in the production of protein was similar to the production of milk, without changing the protein percentages. Yeast culture enables ruminants to realize and maintain high production levels by nurturing rumen microflora. Healthy rumen microflora populations play an important role in maximizing the break down or digestion of feedstuffs.
More complete digestion makes more nutrients available to the cows for body needs.
True, fully fermented yeast culture products consist of yeast, the media on which it is grown, and all the nutritional metabolites produced during the fermentation process. Yeast culture products improve the palatability and digestibility of feeds. Pelleting does not reduce effectiveness. Yeast culture has a long shelf life unlike live yeast products. Diamond V Mills is the world's leading manufacturer and marketer of true, fully fermented yeast culture products.
