Abstract
To evaluate the effect of feeding yeast probiotic in milk or starter on growth, fecal score, health, blood and rumen parameters, 30 female Holstein calves with average 40.4±1.8 kg birth weight in Taliseh Nemouneh dairy farm used from 14 until 65 days old. Calves randomly divided to 3 treatments ...

To evaluate the effect of feeding yeast probiotic in milk or starter on growth, fecal score, health, blood and rumen parameters, 30 female Holstein calves with average 40.4±1.8 kg birth weight in Taliseh Nemouneh dairy farm used from 14 until 65 days old. Calves randomly divided to 3 treatments including: 1) control (without probiotic) 2) yeast probiotic in starter 3) yeast probiotic in milk. Average daily gain, body weight and feed efficiency were not significantly different between treatments. Dry matter intake was significantly lower in treatment 2 than control (P<0.01). Digestibility of feed nutrients, ammonia nitrogen concentration, rumen fluid pH and blood parameters did not affected by treatments. Fecal score and health in treatment 2 and 3 were better than control. Generally, calves were fed with yeast probiotic in milk had the best fecal score and health

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of Pomegranate seed pulp (PSP) containing long-chain fatty acids with L-carnitine (LC) on performance and carcass traits of thirty two Mahabadi male kids. Experimental diets were 1) diet without PSP and LC 2) diet with 10% PSP Kg/DMI and without LC 3) diet without PSP and with 300ppm LC Kg/DMI and 4) diet with 10% PSP and 300ppm LC Kg/DMI. Kids were slaughtered at the end of study and carcass characteristics were measured. Addition of PSP and LC in diet decreased kidney fat (P<0.05). The kids fed with PSP and LC supplement had higher fat digestibility than other treatments (P<0.05). Furthermore, the use of PSP in the diet decreased the feed cost per Kg of hot carcass (P=0.05). The results of this study indicated that replacing a part of dietary cereal grains with PSP and LC supplement decreased kidney fat. Also, the simultaneous use of LC and PSP increased apparent digestibility of fat, and showed numerically higher performance. According to the results of this study, the PSP can be used as an economical byproduct without negative effects on performance, and along with LC in the diet of kids it will reduce kidney fat as well.
