Performance and milk composition of Holstein cows fed with dried malt bagasse and selenium-enriched Saccharomyces cerevisiae
2020
ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of selenium-enriched Saccharomyces cerevisiae on the performance, composition and quality of milk from cows fed diets containing dried malt bagasse. Eight Holstein cows were distributed in a 4 × 4 double Latin square. The treatments were in a 2 × 2 factorial scheme: with or without the inclusion of malt bagasse x with or without the addition of selenium-enriched Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Dried malt bagasse was included at 24% in the dry matter (DM) of the diet; the amount of yeast supplied was 15 g/day and was composed of strain Saccharomyces cerevisiae CNCM I-1077 containing 1.0 × 109 CFU/g and 170 mg selenium/kg. Cows fed diets containing malt bagasse presented lower intakes of DM, crude protein and non-fibrous carbohydrates (NFC) and higher intakes of ethereal extract and neutral detergent fiber (P
