Effect of compound probiotics and yeast culture on milk production, rumen fermentation and serum anti-stress parameters of heat-stressed dairy cows

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of newly developed compound probiotics on milk production, rumen fermentation characteristics and serum anti-stress parameters of heat-stressed dairy cows. Forty-five late-lactation dairy cows were randomly allocated into three groups, including control group...

description This study aimed to evaluate the effect of newly developed compound probiotics on milk production, rumen fermentation characteristics and serum anti-stress parameters of heat-stressed dairy cows. Forty-five late-lactation dairy cows were randomly allocated into three groups, including control group (basal total mixed ration, TMR), compound probiotics (CP) group (20 g/d compound probiotics per cow in TMR) and yeast culture (YC) group (100 g/d yeast culture per cow in TMR). The results indicated that the compound probiotics and yeast culture increased milk yield significantly (P=0.03) with no influence on milk content, and improved ammonia nitrogen and microbial protein concentrations in rumen fluid (P=0.04) with no influence on volatile fatty acid concentration. The compound probiotics and yeast culture enhanced the apparent digestibility of crude protein and neutral detergent fiber (P&lt;0.05), and a better performance was observed in the compound probiotic groups. The compound probiotics and yeast culture increased serum triiodothyronine (T<sub>3</sub>) content significantly (P&lt;0.01). Thus, the compound probiotics could alleviate the negative effect of heat stress on dairy cows, and perform better than the yeast culture.
