Rumen microbiome and fat deposition in sheep: insights from a bidirectional mendelian randomization study

npj Biofilms and Microbiomes
Rumen microbiotas are known to influence the fat deposition (FD) in sheep, but controversy over causality remains unresolved. Here, we performed microbiome-wide association studies (MWAS), microbiome genome-wide association analysis (mbGWAS) and ...

Isolation of potentially novel species expands the genomic and functional diversity of Lachnospiraceae

iMeta, Volume 3, Issue 2, April 2024.
We present a comprehensive exploration of Lachnospiraceae, leveraging an extensive cultured‐based genome collection. Phylogenetic analysis reveals previously underestimated taxonomic diversity. A thorough gene set analysis, comprising a 1.5 M gene catalog, sheds light on the functional richness of Lachnospiraceae.

Essential oils affect populations of some rumen bacteria in vitro as revealed by microarray (RumenBactArray) analysis

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
In a previous study origanum oil (ORO), garlic oil (GAO), and peppermint oil (PEO) were shown to effectively lower methane production, decrease abundance of methanogens, and change abundances of several bacterial populations important to feed digestion ...

Determination of microbiological characteristics in the digestive tract of different ruminant species

MicrobiologyOpen, 2019
Holstein dairy cows, Chinese Luxi Yellow cattle, Chinese Laoshan dairy goats, and Chinese Bohai Black cattle were selected for the study. The 16S rDNA sequencing technique was used to analyze the microflora in the digestive tract. The rumen flora in high

Dietary probiotic and synbiotic supplementation starting from maternal gestation improves muscular lipid metabolism in offspring piglets by reshaping colonic microbiota and metabolites

mSystems
Probiotics and synbiotics have been intensively used in animal husbandry due to their advantageous roles in animals’ health. However, there is a paucity of research on probiotic and synbiotic supplementation from maternal gestation to the postnatal ...

Effects of succinate supplementation on rumen fermentation, microbiota, and propionate-associated metabolism in vitro

Frontiers in Microbiology
IntroductionSuccinate is an intermediate in the ruminal succinate-propionate pathway, but its direct effects as an exogenous additive on rumen fermentation, bacterial community structure, and energy-related metabolites remain insufficiently characterized.

Multi-omics revealed the promoting effect of dietary inulin supplementation on hepatic gluconeogenesis in goats

Frontiers in Animal Science
IntroductionGluconeogenesis is the primary pathway for ruminants to obtain energy. Enhancement of gluconeogenesis can significantly improve the growth performance of ruminants.

Assessing Fecal Microbial Diversity and Hormone Levels as Indicators of Gastrointestinal Health in Reintroduced Przewalski’s Horses (Equus ferus przewalskii)

Animals
Diarrhea serves as a vital health indicator for assessing wildlife populations post-reintroduction. Upon release into the wild, wild animals undergo adaptation to diverse habitats and dietary patterns.
