Yeast Culture

About this ingredient

Yeast culture is not simply dried yeast. It is the whole fermentation product, comprising the yeast together with the medium it was grown on and the metabolites produced along the way, dried so that those metabolites are preserved.

In ruminants it is used to stabilise rumen fermentation, supporting fibre digesting bacteria and moderating pH swings on high concentrate diets. That effect comes largely from the metabolites, which is why the whole culture is used rather than yeast alone.

Where it is used

• Dairy rations, for rumen stability and fibre digestion
• Beef finishing on high concentrate diets
• Transition cow programmes
• Horse feed

Formulation note

Yeast culture is dosed per head per day in ruminant rations. Choose it for rumen stability and fibre digestion, particularly on high concentrate diets and around calving.
