Mexico is divided into three milk regions; being the region of the Comarca Lagunera, which is integrated by Coahuila and Durango, occupying the first place in milk production with a production of 2,448 million liters per year. The breeding of calves is a fundamental part of the dairy industry since it has a future impact on reproductive aspects and the survival rate of heifers and improves the genetics of the herd. Yeasts are very important in animal feeding, being Saccharomyces cerevisiae the most used, since it increases consumption and consequently increases the average daily gain of the animals. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of supplementation with Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast in 60 Holstein calves in the pre-weaning period at the El Compas dairy in Gómez Palacio, Durango. The variables to be evaluated were average daily gain in kilograms at weaning and height gain in centimeters at weaning. Supplementation with Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast during the pre-weaning period increased the average daily gain (1.154 kg ± 0.126) and calves height (19.67 cm ± 4.207).
