First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for increasing milk production or improving milk compositional characteristics in a ruminant, the method comprising:
- (a) feeding a ruminant a feed composition comprising;
(i) a ruminant feed,(ii) a Pichia kudriavzevii, and(iii) a Clostridium butyricum; and
wherein the ruminant administered the effective amount of the feed composition exhibits an increase in milk production or improved milk compositional characteristics, as compared to a ruminant not administered the feed composition; and
wherein the Pichia kudriavzevii and/or the Clostridium butyricum occur in a solid form.
