Abstract: This study evaluated weight gain and animal performance of beef cattle when adding Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast and vanillin to the diet. The experiment was conducted with two groups of cattle, a test group with the additives and a control group without the additives, both with 20 male animals of Nellore breed, weighing an average of 350 Kg. The results showed a statistically significant difference in weight gain between the two groups, with the test group showing a higher average daily weight gain. Additionally, the sieve test indicated an improvement in nutrient digestibility in the test group. The supplementation of yeast and vanillin in the cattle's diet proved to be an effective strategy to enhance animal performance and weight gain.
