Dr. Jhones Sarturi: Live Yeast in Ruminant Performance | Ep. 60

Ruminant metabolism is central to the dairy industry, profoundly influencing the health, productivity, and overall well-being of dairy cattle. Among various nutritional strategies, the inclusion of yeast, particularly live yeast, has gained significant attention. This yeast positively impacts rumen fermentation and digestion, enhancing nutrient utilization. In this episode, Dr. Jhones Sarturi, a Texas Tech University expert in ruminant physiology, delves into these aspects, emphasizing the importance of feeding behavior, yeast-mediated nutrient distribution, and holistic approaches to enhancing animal resilience and efficiency, all while underlining effective communication in the industry.

"The inclusion of yeast in ruminant diets can effectively modulate the digestive environment, reducing pH variability and improving nutrient utilization."
