| Abstract | This experiment was carried out to study the effect of yeast culture in the diet on rumen microbial population in buffalo bulls. In a cross over design, six graded Murrah buffalo bulls (254.4+-7.98 kg) were randomly divided into two groups of three animals each. The animals in both the groups were offered 1.5 kg concentrate mixture and had access to Hybrid Napier fodder ad libitum. In the treatment group, the concentrate mixture was supplemented with yeast culture (Saccharomyces cerevisiae CNCM I-1077 strain) at the rate of 0.5 g/animal/day. The results indicated that supplementation of the diet with yeast culture increased signifi cantly the mean protozoal count (P LT 0.05) and the total bacterial count (P LT 0.01) in SRL of graded Murrah buffalo bulls as compared with the control group. |
