Effects of a supplemental enhanced yeast product on digestion and milk production in dairy cows.

By E. Evans, R. J. Patterson, and N. Clark

The use of yeast products based on live Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Saccharomyces cerevisiae cultures are common in dairy ration formulations and have been reported to provide a variety of advantages. Dann et al. (2000) and Ramsing et al. (2009) determined yeast culture improved feed intake in periparturient and early lactation cows. Robinson and Garrett (1999) found cows receiving yeast culture appeared to adapt to changes in the ingredient composition of diets more quickly than did cows receiving diets without yeast.

A peek behind the process: How Papillon selects probiotic strains that perform

Probiotics have come a long way since fermented milk was first consumed in ancient Rome. At Papillon, selecting the right probiotic strains for BaciFlex is a rigorous, multi-step process — screening Bacillus subtilis strains not just for pathogen inhibition, but for gut integrity support, immune function, and compatibility across feed types. What sets Papillon apart is a commitment to re-evaluating those strains every 3–5 years using regional feed and fecal sampling data representing hundreds of thousands of cows. As pathogens evolve, so does BaciFlex — delivering a minimum of 95% inhibition o
