Abstract
Eighteen lactating Beetal goats of the almost same age, body weight, and parity were selected and divided into three groups
(A, B and C) of six animals each. All the animals were given ad libitum fodder supplemented with 500g concentrate per animal.
The animals of group C were treated as the control group, while those of A and B were supplemented with live yeast
(Saccharomyces cerevisiae) @ 1.5 and 3 gm/day per animal, respectively up to 45 days. Results showed that dry matter intake,
weight gain (kg), milk yield (kg), milk fat, milk protein, lactose, ash, and total solid% were ascertained better in group B
followed by A and C. Findings of the present study suggest that the use of yeast @ 3gm/day can improve the milk yield and
its composition in Beetal goats.
