, Lactic acid bacteria (T2), <i>Yeast culture (T3)</i>, and multi-strain probiotic <i>(T4)</i>. Daily ration was composed of 1kg concentrate mixed-feed (<i>Leucaena leucocephala</i> dried leaves and pollard), and 4 kg (50:50) fresh <i>Pennisetum purpureum</i> and <i>Gliciridia sepium</i> leaves. All the data gathered were processed and analyzed using SPSS version 20. The analysis of variance revealed that probiotic-treated groups had significantly (P≤0.05) higher milk yield and lower somatic cell counts compared to the control group. Milk components such as milk fat yield, protein, and lactose were not significantly affected by probiotic feeding except for solid-not-fat yield. The study suggests that strains of lactic acid bacteria and multi-strain probiotics can be good supplements for dairy goats with subclinical mastitis.&picture=http://www.aascit.org/aascit/decorators/img/journal/892.jpg)

The study was conducted to investigate the influence of orally fed probiotics on the performance of crossbred lactating dairy goats diagnosed with elevated somatic cell counts. A total of sixteen crossbreed Anglo-Nubian x Saanen dairy goats on early to mid-lactation diagnosed with subclinical mastitis were randomly assigned into four treatments orally fed with 6ml of 5x109 cfu/ml probiotic feed supplements for 8 weeks. Treatments were: control -without probiotic supplements (T1), Lactic acid bacteria (T2), Yeast culture (T3), and multi-strain probiotic (T4). Daily ration was composed of 1kg concentrate mixed-feed (Leucaena leucocephala dried leaves and pollard), and 4 kg (50:50) fresh Pennisetum purpureum and Gliciridia sepium leaves. All the data gathered were processed and analyzed using SPSS version 20. The analysis of variance revealed that probiotic-treated groups had significantly (P≤0.05) higher milk yield and lower somatic cell counts compared to the control group. Milk components such as milk fat yield, protein, and lactose were not significantly affected by probiotic feeding except for solid-not-fat yield. The study suggests that strains of lactic acid bacteria and multi-strain probiotics can be good supplements for dairy goats with subclinical mastitis.
