Abstract

The use of additives in animal feed has been to improve ruminal flora and pH, to increase the efficiency and activity of rumen microorganisms. The conditions of the ruminal environment influence the microbial flora and thus the digestion of food. The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisae acts to control the ruminal parameters, taking advantage of animal digestion, improving ruminal fermentation, milk production, ingestive behavior, stabilization of pH and these benefits performance of ruminants.
