Yeast culture proves its value on British dairy farm
by Angela Rhodes, freelance agricultural feature writer
In one leading UK dairy herd management operation, the trial introduction
of a yeast culture feed supplement in one 200-cow herd led to a 400
litre a cow increase in annual rolling yield alongside measured improvements
in rumen function. So positive and cost effective were the results
that all herds under the central management regime are now also receiving
the yeast culture.
Rumen function: The key to reducing days to slaughter
by Matt Mellor, Agribusiness Communications Limited
Innovative feed supplements with the proven ability to increase liveweight
gains in fattening cattle will play a vital role in the future profitability
of beef production. So says Harper Adams University College beef specialist
Simon Marsh, who points out that the ability to reduce the time to slaughter
during the crucial finishing phase offers the dual advantage of increased
margin within a given group of cattle as well as a higher overall throughout
for the unit.
Pasture scald solved on Australian dairy
Mount Gambier, in the South Eastern part of the state of South Australia,
is one of Australia’s fastest-growing dairy-producing areas. The
excellent climate and abundance of high-quality green grass make
it an inexpensive place to produce milk. Here, Telford Telford runs
Mundoolun Dairying, a 1,350-cow herd producing an average of 9,000
litres with 285kgs of milk protein and 345kgs of milk fat per lactation.
Yeast culture makes important impact in India
In India, with the introduction of improved breeds and germplasm,
livestock farming has emerged as a major source of income both in
rural and semi-urban areas. Unfortunately, these breeds are not producing
desired results unless they are properly fed to achieve their potential.
Florida dairy sees 13¢ advantage with yeast culture
To evaluate the value of a live yeast culture on milk production
and composition, a 60-day field trial was set up at the Levy County
Dairy in Florida. The lactating cows in two groups received 10 grams
of a yeast culture (Yea-Sacc1026, Alltech) once daily throughout
the trial; a third group served as controls. All cows received the
same ration fed free choice. The ration contained corn silage, ground
alfalfa, wet brewers grains, hominy feed and a concentrate premix
that contained some animal protein by-product feedstuffs.
