Abstract

Saccharomyces cerevisiae can be efficiently used as probiotics in animal feed. It stabilizes the rumen milieu for adequate functioning of the fibrolytic bacteria, produce organic acids and vitamins, increases volatile fatty acids, digestibility, and reduce lactic acid in the rumen, severity aflatoxicosis and other bacterial toxins. These beneficial effects result into enhanced feed intake, milk quality and quantity, immunity in the livestock.
