Summary

An investigation was undertaken to determine whether commercial milk replacers provide fermentable substrates for the yeast Torulopsis glabrata and thus produce ethanol in the stomachs of new born lambs and calves. Samples of stomach contents from calves in two small rearing units and a small number of farm bred calves, all being fed commercial milk replacers, were also examined. Ethanol was produced from certain replacers in all cases, and its association with Torulopsis glabrata was confirmed.
