In intensive production systems, increased fecundity and higher milk production often lead to negative energy balance and ketosis, known as pregnancy toxemia, in ewes. Negative energy balance in ewes is responsible for reduced production and consequent fertility issues and can even result in the ewe&#8217;s death. Supplementing the diet with the yeast probiotic Actisaf<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Sc 47 helps improve the energy balance and milk performance.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;416049&#8243; img_size=&#8221;120&#215;178&#8243; alignment=&#8221;right&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221; qode_css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][\/qode_elements_holder_item][qode_elements_holder_item vertical_alignment=&#8221;middle&#8221; horizontal_alignment=&#8221;left&#8221; advanced_animations=&#8221;no&#8221;][vc_gallery interval=&#8221;3&#8243; images=&#8221;416103,416111&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221; direction_nav=&#8221;yes&#8221; control_nav=&#8221;no&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1744017449986{padding-right: 2% !important;padding-left: 2% !important;}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 10px;\">Source: Mavrommatis, A., Mitsiopoulou, C., Christodoulou, C., Karabinas, D., Nenov, V., Zervas, G., Tsiplakou, E., 2020.

Actisaf<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Sc 47 helps maintain a healthy rumen environment and improve nutrient availability, while Safmannan\u00ae supports gut health and immune function. Selsaf<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>, a selenium-enriched yeast, can neutralize the oxidative stress associated with negative energy balance. This comprehensive approach helps mitigate the risk of subclinical pregnancy toxemia, a prevalent issue in intensively raised flocks, ultimately improving ewe and lamb performance and survival.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/qode_elements_holder_item][qode_elements_holder_item advanced_animations=&#8221;no&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;416107&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; onclick=&#8221;link_image&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221; qode_css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; qode_hover_animation=&#8221;zoom_in&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1744017583965{padding-right: 2% !important;padding-left: 2% !important;}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 10px;\">Source: Christodoulou, C. et all, Effect of dietary supplementation with probiotic and postbiotic yeast.
