STUDIES CONDUCTED ON S. CEREVISIAE, THE ACTIVE INGREDIENT IN VF PROMUNE
A study published in the American Based Research Journal (2013) looked at the effect of S. cerevisiaeinclusion in feed on the performance of broiler birds. A total of 150 Anak broiler chicks were grouped into four groups where they received graded levels (0.5g/kg, 1.0g/kg, 1.5g/kg and 2.0g/kg) of S. cerevisiae in their feed and were observed over 8 weeks.
Effect of 2.0g/kg of S. cerevisiae in feed on performance of broiler starter
Parameter | 0g | 2.0g |
Initial liveweight (g) | 115.33 | 166.00 |
Final liveweight (g) | 538.89 | 613.89 |
Daily weight gain (g) | 20.17 | 23.69 |
Daily feed intake (g) | 55.57 | 56.55 |
Feed conversion ratio | 2.77 | 1.89 |
Daily protein intake (g) | 12.31 | 12.53 |
Protein efficiency ratio | 1.64 | 1.89 |
Starter broilers who receivedS. cerevisiae in their feed had significantly (P<0.05) higher daily weight gain, daily feed intake and final live weight than those of the control birds. Birds who received S. cerevisiae in their diet had better feed conversion and protein efficiency ratios.
Effect of 2.0g/kg of S. cerevisiae in feed on performance of broiler finisher
Parameter | 0g | 1.0g |
Initial liveweight (g) | 538.89 | 613.67 |
Final liveweight (g) | 1957.66 | 2297.33 |
Daily weight gain (g) | 50.67 | 60.13 |
Daily feed intake (g) | 112.29 | 127.18 |
Feed conversion ratio | 2.23 | 2.12 |
Daily protein intake (g) | 22.57 | 25.56 |
Protein efficiency ratio | 2.25 | 2.36 |
The authors concluded that S. cerevisiae supplementation in feed had a significantly positive effect on broiler performance and thus recommend the inclusion of S. cerevisiae in the diets of broilers and finishers. The authors hypothesised that the immune-enhancing effects of S. cerevisiae could also contribute to the improved performance.
A study published in Livestock Science (2012) looked at the effect S. cerevisiae had on the antibody production against sheep red blood cells (SRBC) of laying hens (n = 112) among other things. The study showed that antibody titres against SRBC were increased significantly when the diet was supplemented with S. cerevisiae and the authors concluded that inclusion of S. cerevisiae in the diets of laying hens had beneficial effects on egg cholesterol content and humoral immune response. They also found that dietary supplementation with S. cerevisiae improved egg weight and feed conversion, tended to increase daily egg production and decreased the blood serum levels of cholesterol and triglyceride.
