Rumen Biogeographical Regions and Microbiome Variation
Microorganisms, 2023 The rumen is a complex organ that is critical for its host to convert low-quality feedstuffs into energy. The conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to volatile fatty acids and other end products is primarily driven by the rumen microbiome and its ...

A Comparison of Three Artificial Rumen Systems for Rumen Microbiome Modeling
Fermentation, 2023 The rumen contains a complex mixture of microbes, crucial for the animal’s ability to degrade feed. Some of the feed-derived carbon is released as methane, a potent greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere.

Assessing the impact of oscillating dietary crude protein on the stability of the rumen microbiome in dairy cattle [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologyIntroductionUnderstanding how the rumen microbiota responds to varying protein levels and feeding patterns is critical for optimizing dairy cattle nutrition. This study investigated the influence of dietary crude protein (CP) levels (13.8% or 15.5% CP of

Reliable enteric methane prediction from the cattle (Bos taurus) rumen microbiome [PDF]
Communications BiologyThe production of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, by ruminants during feed digestion is designated enteric methane emissions (EME) and is mainly produced by the rumen microbiome. Reliably recording EME in large populations is currently cost-prohibitive,

Rumen microbiome associates with postpartum ketosis development in dairy cows: a prospective nested case–control study [PDF]
MicrobiomeBackground Approximately, one-third of dairy cows suffer from postpartum diseases. Ketosis is considered an important inducer of other postpartum diseases by disrupting energy metabolism.

Dietary modulation of the rumen microbiome drives the expression of metabolic and methanogenic pathways in Bos indicus [PDF]
mSphereDiet influences ruminal methane emissions by modulating the composition and activity of the rumen microbiome. However, how diet shapes the functional capacity of the rumen microbiome in Nelore cattle (Bos indicus), a key tropical beef breed, remains ...

Multiomics insights into rumen microbiome and function in grazing lambs: implications for nutrient absorption and grassland sustainability [PDF]
MicrobiomeBackground The center of sustainable development of grassland husbandry is the balance between forage intake and growth characteristics of animals, and one of the keys to restricting the conversion efficiency of forage intake is the digestibility of ...
