Chitacell Chitika

Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast consumes oxygen in the rumen, stimulating the growth of cellulolytic bacteria, which are highly anaerobic. This helps maintain optimal rumen acidity, preventing subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA) and enhancing enzymatic activity in the digestive system, thus improving feed digestibility.

Live Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast consumes free oxygen in the rumen through respiration, creating an anaerobic environment that is ideal for rumen metabolism. Low oxygen levels in the rumen are a key factor in determining rumen microbial activity.

Improved microbial activity in the rumen enhances the digestion of starch and cellulose, leading to more efficient nutrient utilization and increased production of volatile fatty acids. This provides more energy for muscle activity and mammary glands, resulting in increased milk production. It also boosts the production of propionate and acetate, which improve milk yield and fat content, respectively. Consequently, the use of live Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast enhances microbial protein synthesis, meeting a portion of the animal’s nutritional needs and resulting in higher-quality meat and increased milk protein.

Additionally, live Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast stimulates lactate-utilizing bacteria, preventing lactic acid accumulation and reducing the risk of acidosis, particularly subacute ruminal acidosis.

Chitacell Chitika Live Yeast for Livestock, Poultry, and Aquatic Animals

Chitacell Chitika contains live Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells that increase oxygen consumption in the rumen, creating anaerobic conditions that promote the growth of cellulolytic bacteria. It also competes with lactic acid-producing bacteria for sugar, preventing rapid lactate buildup and acidosis. This mechanism increases rumen acidity, enhances fiber digestibility, and boosts acetate production, ultimately improving the performance of livestock, poultry, and aquatic animals.

Composition of Chitacell Chitika Live Yeast

• Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast (CFU/g): 1×10¹¹ with a filler

Dosage for Livestock and Poultry:

• Dairy Cows: 5 to 10 grams per head daily
• Dry and Prepartum Cows: 10 to 15 grams per head daily
• Suckling Calves: 2 to 3 grams per head daily
