AB - The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (SC) on milk yield, milk compositions and the
body condition score raised organically in dairy cattle. For this aim, 120 lactating
Holstein Friesian dairy cows were randomly divided into group control (n = 60)
and treatment (n = 60) in a private organic dairy farming in the Kelkit District
of the Gumushane Province in Turkey. The diet of group treatment each cow was
supplementation with 6 g SC per day. The experimental was started after 30 days
of calving and lasted 45 days after. The average daily milk yield production
(p<0.01) was higher in the SC group (34.6±0.31 vs. 31.8±0.44
kg day-1 in the treated and control group, respectively). The effect
of SC on some milk compositions as non-fat solids (%), milk fat (%), protein
(%) and lactose were statistically non-significant. Body condition score in
the treated group (2.74±0.016) was higher than control group (2.58±0.017)
(p<0.01). It was concluded that milk yield capacities in organic dairy cattle
farming in case that the similar results are confirmed with additional studies
can be substantially increased.
