The use of computed tomography for in vivo estimation of reticulo-rumen and omasum contents in Alpine goats [PDF]
JDS CommunicationsPrecise in vivo measurement of reticulo-rumen content (volume and mass) is required for the study of digestive processes. Rumen-cannulated animals have been classically used for this purpose, and less invasive alternatives are currently investigated to ...

Exploring the reticulo-ruminal motility pattern in goats through medical barium meal imaging technology [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary ScienceThe motility pattern of the reticulo-rumen is a key factor affecting feed intake, rumen digesta residence time, and rumen fermentation. However, it is difficult to study reticulo-ruminal motility using general methods owing to the complexity of the ...

Long-Term Recording of Reticulo-Rumen Myoelectrical Activity in Sheep by a Telemetry Method [PDF]
Animals, 2021 The reticulum and rumen are considered a single functional unit (the reticulo-rumen) with regards to myoelectrical and contractile activities. The specialized contractions of the reticulo-rumen provide constant mixing of partially digested material ...

Parturition and postpartum dietary change altered ruminal pH and the predicted functions of rumen bacterial communities but did not alter the bacterial composition in Holstein cows [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022 We investigated the temporal dynamics of ruminal pH and the composition and predicted functions of the rumen bacterial community in Holstein cows during the periparturient period. Eight multiparous Holstein cows (body weight; 707.4 ± 29.9 kg, parity; 3.6

Estrus Prediction Models for Dairy Gyr Heifers [PDF]
Animals, 2021 Technological devices are increasingly present in livestock activities, such as identifying the reproductive status of cows. For this, predictive models must be accurate and usable in the productive context. The aims of this study were to evaluate estrus-

Oro-ruminal sampling device and technique for rapid collection of rumen content and improved recovery of solid fractions for microbiome analysis [PDF]
JDS CommunicationsRumen fistulation is a widely used procedure that allows for collection of ruminal contents. However, fistulation is an invasive and costly procedure that generally limits the number of animals that can be recruited for experiments, thus encouraging the ...

Phenotypic and genetic parameters of circadian rhythms from core body temperature profiles and their relationships with beef steers’ production efficiency profiles during successive winter feeding periods [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2023 This 2-year study evaluated differences in circadian parameters obtained from measures of core body temperatures using telemetric reticulo-rumen and rectal devices during two winter feeding regimes in western Canada.

Early rumen development in calves: Biological processes and nutritional strategies—A mini-review [PDF]
JDS CommunicationsThe transformation of the reticulo-rumen (hereafter rumen) from a monogastric state to a functional rumen during early calf development is driven by complex transcriptional reprogramming and changes in metabolic pathways.
