Results:
DM, OM, NDF and ADF digestibility were significantly improved (P<0.05). Crude protein and crude fat digestibility also tended to be increased.
Conclusion:
Daily supplementation with Vistacell significantly improves feed digestibility. The trial results show that the Vistacell group had significantly better digestibility values across all the parameters that were measured. These improvements suggest that the hindgut is healthier and more stable when Vistacell is included, leading to improvements in the populations of fibre digesting bacteria in the hindgut.
PRO‐YEAST with the inclusion of the Vistacell works by both competing with lactic acid‐producing
microorganisms to reduce the additive acid load, and also removing oxygen from the hindgut. This
makes the hindgut environment more suitable for fibre‐digesting bacteria, which then encourages
their proliferation and activity.
