The Effect of Yeast Culture (YC), Mannan Oligiosaccharide (mos) and Enzymatically Hydrolyzed Yeast (EHY) on Production Performance in Dairy Cattle

Introduction: A trial was conducted at Spruce Haven Research Center in Auburn, New York to determine the effects of various treatments of yeast culture, Mannan Oligiosaccharide (MOS) and Enzymatically Hydrolyzed Yeast (Celmanax®) to determine their affect on lactating dairy cattle.
Conclusion: Cows supplemented with A-Max® and Celmanax produced more milk, FCM and ECM than non supplemented cows. Milk protein percentage was higher for cows supplemented with Celmanax compared to DV/ MOS. Protein yields were higher for A-Max and Celmanax supplemented cows compared to control and DV/ MOS.  Somatic cell count was lower for cows supplemented with products containing MOS; however, there was a significant Pen (trt) effect.

The Effect of Yeast Culture (YC) and Mannan Oligiosaccharide (MOS) and Enzymatically Hydrolyzed Yeast (EHY) on Production Performance in Dairy Cattle

Introduction: Yeast and yeast products have been used in ruminant nutrition to manipulate rumen fermentation and, therefore, production response. In the last few years it was observed that feeding of derivatives of the yeast cell wall influenced the composition and metabolic activity of the intestinal microflora and has shown to have beneficial effects in improving animal health response. In this study two such products were tested for production performance in dairy cattle.
Conclusion: Cows supplemented with Celmanax produced more milk, FCM, and ECM than non supplemented cows. Milk protein percentage was higher for cows supplemented with Celmanax compared to DV/ MOS. Protein yields were higher for Celmanax supplemented cows compared to Control and DV/ MOS. Somatic cell count was lower for cows supplemented with Celmanax and DV/ MOS; however, there was a significant Pen (trt) effect.

The Effect of Enzymatically Hydrolyzed Yeast (EHY, Celmanax) on Production Performance in Dairy Cattle

Introduction: Yeast and yeast products have been used in ruminant nutrition to manipulate rumen fermentation and, therefore, production response. Feeding of derivatives of the yeast cell wall is known to influence the composition and metabolic activity of the intestinal microflora and has shown to have beneficial effects in improving animal health response. In this study a Yeast Culture (YC) and EHY manufactured as a combined supplement called Celmanax is tested in dairy cattle for production performance.
Conclusion: Cows supplemented with Celmanax produced more milk, FCM, ECM, and higher milk protein percentage than non supplemented cows. Fat, protein, and SNF yields were higher for Celmanax supplemented cows compared to Control. Somatic cell count was lower for cows supplemented with Celmanax.

Beef Research

Effect of Celmanax Liquid on the Attachment of Cryptosporidium Sporozoites to Bovine Epithelial Cells In-Vitro

Introduction: Celmanax is a yeast culture product, which has been modified or improved to express more of the metabolites associated with the yeast culture fermentation process. One of the metabolites associated with this production process is Galactosamine. N-acetyl galactosamine has demonstrated an ability to interfere with Cryptosporidium spp ability to attach to intestinal epithilium1. Inhibition of Cryptosporidium sporozoites to adhere and penetrate host cells in the presence of sugars and complex carbohydrates has been reported2. In this study effect of Celmanax on attachment of Cryptosporidium parvum sporozoites to bovine cells is investigated.
Conclusion: The results from this study suggest that Celmanax significantly inhibits the binding of C. parvum sporozoites to bovine epithelial cells in-vitro in a dose-dependent manner.

Celmanax Poultry Research Trial in Broiler Diets

Introduction: Dr. Jose Arce conducted a research project at the Integracion Desarrollo Agropecuario Research Center in Charo-Morelia, Mexico.
Conclusion: Celmanax provided a significant benefit in this research trial by significantly improving weight gain and the production index.

Effect of Celmanax Supplementatation on Performance and in Protecting Broilers Against a Moderate Coccidiosis Challenge

Introduction: Celmanax is an enzymatically hydrolyzed yeast and yeast culture manufactured as a combined supplement. Celmanax® contains complex sugars like galactosamine, mannose and mannan oligosaccharide (MOS). Some of these sugars play an important role in preventing infections by some pathogenic bacteria and parasites. Ability of Celmanax to agglutinate E. coli and Salmonella spp has been shown before. In this study, effect of Celmanax on Eimeria challenged broiler chicks was assessed.
Conclusion: Overall, Celmanax appeared to have performance improving properties when fed to non-challenged broilers, and showed significant efficacy against E. tenella but not against E. maxima and E. acervulina challenge. This work was presented at the ADSA-ASAS Joint Annual Meeting, 2008 and published in the Journal of Animal Science volume 86, E-Supplement 2.

Swine Research

Effect of Celmanax in Pig Diets in Response to an Immune Challenge

Introduction: Celmanax is an improved yeast culture product expressing more of the metabolites associated with the yeast culture fermentation process. Celmanax contains many complex carbohydrates like Mannan Oligosaccharides (MOS) and beta-glucans. Yeast culture and MOS containing products play an important role in improving overall intestinal well being and in modulating immune function in the animal.
Conclusion: Compared to the LPS-challenged control pigs, Celmanax supplemented pigs had a lower rectal temperature and respiratory rate during the first 4 hours after injection, which implied that Celmanax improves some aspect of the immune function and provides some benefit for weaned pigs during an immune challenge.
