A new piece of research was published in Frontiers, uncovering the effect of yeast as a feed additive in the diet of Simmental beef cattle. This species, native to Switzerland, is one of the oldest and most common cattle breeds worldwide.
The research explores the impact of the additive on growth, antioxidant capacity, immune function and intestinal microbiota. They were measured by separating the bulls into two random groups.
The results show that once introduced into their diets, the yeast colonies reduce the feed the cattle need to ingest. They also show improvements in many measurements, including levels of immunoglobulin and antioxidant capacity, showing the health benefits of yeast.
