Effect of Biosaf in dairy buffalo cows

Abstract

Biosaf is a thermostable live yeast concentrate (Saccharomyces cerevisiae Strain Sc47). The trial was carried out on 35 buffalo cows subdivided in 3 groups: Group A (Control with farm standard diet); Group B (with the same diet, added with 6g Biosaf/day); Group C (with the same diet, added with 60g Biosaf/day). The trial started within the first month from calving (1st month of lactation) up to the 8th month of lactation. The mean values for milk production during 8 months of trial are 8.95, 8.95 and 8.91 liters/d, respectively in Group A, B and C, without significant differences among groups. The protein percentage increased in groups receiving Biosaf. The effect was significant (P<0.05) in Group B and C at the 4th, 5th and 8th month of lactation in comparison to Control Group and in Group B at 4th month of lactation in comparison to Control Group: this indicates that Biosaf integration really increases milk protein and consequently mozzarella yield.
