    Abstract: Effects of live yeast culture (<I>Saccharomyces cerevisiae </I>1026) as a feed additive, on milk production and blood lipids contents of 10 Jersey cows in early lactation were determined<SUP> </SUP>in 21 days. Twenty Jersey cows, which have had their second delivery were allocated equally to one or the other treatments: control vs experimental. From 45-66th days in milk, 10 g day<SUP>-1</SUP> of <I>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</I> (1x10<SUP>8</SUP> cfu g<SUP>-1</SUP>) dissolved in 200 mL of water were administrated to cows. Daily milk yields were recorded individually and blood samples were obtained weekly for each experimental cow. The  diet  supplemented  with <I> Saccharomyces  cerevisiae</I> (Yea-Sacc 1026/Alltech) implied an extension at the peak lactation period and a statistically significant increase of serum cholesterol and LDL (p&lt;0.05) contents of early lactation Jersey cows.
