Abstract

ABSTRACT Results from 18 experiments were compiled for a meta-analysis evaluating the effects of Saccharomyces cerevisiae fermentation products (SCFP) manufactured by Diamond V on feedlot performance and carcass traits. Data were analyzed using mixed model procedures. Fixed class variables included sex (steers, heifers, bulls, or mixed) and the use of SCFP, ionophores, tylosin, and implants (each coded as no = 0, yes = 1). Days on feed and initial BW were included in models as fixed continuous variables when significant ( P ≤ 0.05). Experiment was included in all models as a random class variable. The analysis was weighted by the inverse of the standard error squared for each treatment mean. Cattle fed SCFP had significant ( P P P P P
