The rumen microbiome: balancing food security and environmental impacts
Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2021Ruminants produce edible products and contribute to food security. They house a complex rumen microbial community that enables the host to digest their plant feed through microbial-mediated fermentation. However, the rumen microbiome is also responsible for the production of one of the most potent greenhouse gases, methane, and contributes about 18% of

AbstractOptimization of host performance in cattle may be achieved through programming of the rumen microbiome. Thus, understanding maternal influences on the development of the calf rumen microbiome is critical. We hypothesized that there exists a shared microbial profile between the cow and calf rumen microbiomes from birth through weaning ...

Rumen Microbiome, Probiotics, and Fermentation Additives
Veterinary Clinics of North America: Food Animal Practice, 2017Fermentation of a variety of feedstuffs by the ruminal microbiome is the distinctive feature of the ruminant digestive tract. The host derives energy and nutrients from microbiome activity; these organisms are essential to survival. Advances in DNA sequencing and bioinformatics have redefined the rumen microbial community.

Genome sequencing and the rumen microbiome
2020Microbial genome sequencing has had an enormous impact on our understanding of many biological systems, including the identity, relationships and functions of the resident microbes of the rumen. The availability of genomic information has enhanced our understanding of metabolic activities these microbes possess, and fuelled the generation of hypotheses

Ecological Aspects on Rumen Microbiome
2017Ruminants are important as suppliers of dairy products for human consumption and are responsible by a large portion of global greenhouse gas emissions. The rumen microbial colonization is a complex process and occurs simultaneously with animal development and maturation of the host immune system.

Metagenomic approach to infer rumen microbiome derived traits of cattle
World Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2023Ruminants enable the conversion of indigestible plant material into animal consumables, including dairy products, meat, and valuable fibers. Microbiome research is gaining popularity in livestock species because it aids in the knowledge of illnesses and efficiency processes in animals.

Exploring the sheep rumen microbiome for carbohydrate-active enzymes
Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, 2015The rumen is a complex ecosystem enriched for microorganisms able to degrade biomass during the animal's digestion process. The recovery of new enzymes from naturally evolved biomass-degrading microbial communities is a promising strategy to overcome the inefficient enzymatic plant destruction in industrial production of biofuels. In this context, this
