Data concerning the effect of probiotics supplementation on many parameters  concurrently at the same cows are lacking. Therefore, the objective of this  experiment was to investigate the effects of Saccharomyces cerevisiae feeding  on rumen, blood and milk parameters together in highproducing dairy cattle  during the transition and early lactation period. Sixteen clinically healthy  Holstein cows were divided into 2 groups: a control group of 6 cows and a  probiotics-fed group of 10 cows. Rumen fluid and blood samples were collected  21 days before the expected calving as well as 7, 15, 30, 45 and 60 daysin-  milk (DIM). Milk yield for each animal was recorded every 2 weeks. Individual  milk samples were collected 15, 30, 45 and 60 DIM. Ruminal pH and rumen  ammonia nitrogen were significantly lower, whereas total volatile fatty acids  were significantly higher in yeast-fed animals compared with controls  throughout the study. Serum concentrations of total proteins and globulins  were higher, while albumins were lower in the yeast-treated group. Serum  glucose levels were significantly higher in yeast-supplemented animals. Serum  triglycerides, high density lipoproteins, and low density lipoproteins  concentrations were lower, with cholesterol being significantly lower in the  treated group. Milk production and milk fat percentage were higher, whereas  milk protein percentage and somatic cell count were decreased in  yeast-supplemented cows throughout the study. These results suggest that  supplementation of S. cerevisiae to dairy cows rations during transition and  early lactation period improve their health and milk production parameters.
