Extract

In the last twenty years, some probiotics, such as Aspergillus oryzae or A. niger (Pioneer, 1989), yeast culture (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) (Wallace, 1994) and some microbial growth promoters (e.g. thiamine, niacin) (Shield, 1981), were used as feed additives in order to improve rumen conditions and cellulose digestion in the rumen and milk yield of dairy cows. The present study was planned to determine whether dietary supplemental baker's yeast and niacin would have individual and/or synergistic effects on milk yield and milk composition of dairy cows under our experimental conditions.
