The feed samples (200 mg) were incubated with rumen liquor taken from 3 fistulated Ghezel rams at 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36 and 48 h. The results showed that, exhausted dry olive cake was highly fibrous material and CP content of this by-product was low. Cumulative gas production volume in 2, 4 and 6 h increased when exhausted dry olive cake supplemented with Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Addition of live yeast did not result in significant positive effect on Metabolizable Energy (ME), Organic Matter Digestibility (OMD) and gas production parameters on exhausted dry olive cake.} }
