This study aimed to evaluate the effects of the live yeast and inactive yeast autolyzed on the voluntary intake, digestibility coefficient, efficiency of microbial protein synthesis, characteristics of the ruminal environment - pH, volatile fatty acids (VFA), rumen ammonia nitrogen (RAN), and balance of nitrogen compounds of cattle feed with high concentrate levels. The experiment was carried out from November, 2010 to February, 2011. Five Nellore heifers with 300 kg ± 39.5 of initial body weight and fitted with rumen canullaes, were used and distributed in a 5 x 5 Latin square design, with five treatments, five animals and five experimental periods lasting 15 days. These 15 days were divided in seven days to the animal s adaptation and the other eight days were for the collection of data and materials. Five additives/levels in the same basal diet were evaluated, as follow: negative control (without additives); positive control (1% of the diet dry matter of sodium bicarbonate and magnesium oxide in the proportion of 4:1); live yeast (10 g/day); inactive yeast autolyzed in the doses of 15 and 30 g/day. The experimental diets consisted of two concentrates based on corn and soybean meal, that differed only by the presence or absence of sodium bicarbonate and magnesium oxide, containing 20% of corn silage, dry matter basis, and calculated to weight gain of 1.2 kg per animal per day, second NRC (2000). The use of additives didn t alter (P>0.05) dry matter intake (DM), and intake of organic matter (OM), crude protein (CP), ether extract (EE), neutral detergent fiber corrected for ash and nitrogenous compounds (NDFap), non-fiber carbohydrates (NFC) and total digestible nutrients (TDN). Only the EE digestibility coefficient was influenced (P<0.05) by the treatments, showing higher values to the treatments positive control and inactive yeast autolyzed in the dose of 30 g/day; the negative control was the treatment that presented the lower EE digestibility coefficient; the treatments inactive yeast autolyzed in the dose of 15 g/day and live yeast didn t differ from the others. The digestibility coefficient of DM, OM, CP, NDFap, NFC and the content of TDN were not affected (P>0.05) by the treatments. Effects were not detected (P>0.05) among treatments on the nitrogen intake, fecal nitrogen excretion, urinary excretion of nitrogen, balance of nitrogen compounds, nitrogen utilization efficiency in relation to N intake and to N absorbed and efficiency of microbial protein synthesis. There were no treatments effects (P>0.05) on the ruminal pH average, RAN, total production and molar ratio of VFA and in the ratio acetate:propionate. The evaluated blood metabolites, glucose, creatinin and urea, were not influenced (P>0.05) by the studied additives.
