This study evaluated the effect of probiotic Proenzime ®, added to the mineral salt, the weight of cattle kept on pasture. We used 30 animals, males Nelore (Bos indicus) at approximately 10 months of age in Panicum maximum supplemented with mineral salt (CG, n = 15 animals) and mineral salt added probiotic (GT = 4 g probiotic / day, n = 15 animals). The animals of the TG were linear and significant increase (P <0.01) in weight over the GC. Therefore, adding probiotic, mineral salt increases the weight in Nelore cattle raised on pasture.
