- Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of inclusion of probiotic Saccharomyces cerevisiae based on carcass characteristics of Holstein steers finished in feedlot. The experiment was conducted at the Midwest State University in the Center of Animal Production (NUPRAN). 24 Holstein steers were used with initial age of 192 days and initial body weight of 221 kg with a standard deviation of 7 kg. The experiment had a 210 days duration. The inclusion of probiotic containing the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae KA500 (2x1010 CFU g-1) was provided at the order of 10 g animal-1 day-1. At the end of the feedlot, following a fasting period of 12 hours, the animals were weighed before loading to the fridge. The slaughter followed the normal flow of a slaughterhouse. The probiotic containing live yeast resulted in no significant effect (p> 0.05) on the features and components that are not part of the carcass.
