Abstract
Aim: In the present study, we
determined the effect and optimum level of inclusion of a
thermo-tolerant probiotic Saccharomyces cerevisiae OBV9 on
nutrient intake and digestibilities in Murrah buffaloes (Bubalus
bubalis).
Materials and Methods: A straw based complete diet (crude
protein (CP) 12%) with 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3% of lyophilized yeast was
evaluated in a 4X4 Latin Square metabolism trial in fistulated
Murrah buffalo steers (223.81 kg ± 2.91). Diet with no yeast was
taken as control.
Results: Dry matter intake (DMI) was not significantly
(P>0.05) influenced by any level (%) of yeast in complete diet.
The digestibility's (%) of dry matter (DM) and crude fibre (CF)
were significantly (P<0.05) higher in 0.1% yeast supplemented diet
compared to control, whereas organic matter, CP, ether extract and
nitrogen free extract were not influenced by yeast treatments. The
digestibility's of neutral detergent fibre (NDF), acid detergent
fibre (ADF), hemicellulose, cellulose, total digestible nutrients
(TDN%) and metabolizable energy (ME as MJ/kg DM) were
significantly (P<0.05) higher in yeast supplemented diets compared
to control. However, among the yeast supplemented diets the values
were not (P>0.05) different from each other. Intake of DCP (g/d or
g/kg w0.75), TDN (kg/d or g/kg w0.75), ME (MJ/d or MJ/kg w0.75)
and N balance (g/d) were not (P>0.05) affected by the level of
yeast in the diet.
Conclusion: It can be concluded that, 0.1% thermo-tolerant
yeast had greater influence on majority of the nutrients in the
straw based complete diets of Murrah buffaloes.
Keywords: buffalo steers, complete diet, nitrogen balance,
nutrient digestibility, thermo-tolerant yeast.
