Data of bacterial community dynamics resulting from total rumen content exchange in beef cattle
BMC Research Notes, 2021 Objectives Extensive efforts have been made to characterize the rumen microbiome under various conditions. However, few studies have addressed the long-term impacts of ruminal microbiome dysbiosis and the extent of host control over microbiome stability.

Sample Processing Methods Impacts on Rumen Microbiome [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 The standardization of collection and processing methods for rumen samples is crucial to reduce the level of errors that may affect the analysis and interpretation of the data. The aim of this study was to compare two processing methods and their impacts on the microbial community composition analysis, from material that was either immediately frozen ...

Influence of the maternal rumen microbiome on development of the calf meconium and rumen microbiome.
Translational animal science, 2020 Abstract Optimization of host performance 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 the cow maternal rumen microbiome would influence colonization of the calf rumen microbiome.

The giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis) rumen microbiome [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2014 Recent studies have shown that wild ruminants are sources of previously undescribed microorganisms, knowledge of which can improve our understanding of the complex microbial interactions in the foregut. Here, we investigated the microbial community of seven wild-caught giraffes (Giraffa camelopardalis), three of which were fed natural browse and four ...

Genome Biology, 2020 Background The Boran (Bos indicus), indigenous Zebu cattle breed from sub-Saharan Africa, is remarkably well adapted to harsh tropical environments. Due to financial constraints and low-quality forage, African livestock are rarely fed at 100% maintenance

Host genetics and the rumen microbiome jointly associate with methane emissions in dairy cows. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2018 Cattle and other ruminants produce large quantities of methane (~110 million metric tonnes per annum), which is a potent greenhouse gas affecting global climate change.

A metagenomics analysis of rumen microbiome [PDF]
2017 IEEE International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedicine (BIBM), 2017 Climate change and food security are significant global challenges facing society. The dairy industry is inextricably linked to these challenges as it is concerned with the economies of food production, while acknowledging that it is a major contributor to greenhouse gas production.

Rumen biogeographical regions and their impact on microbial and metabolome variation
Frontiers in Animal Science, 2023 The rumen microbiome is a complex microbial network critical to the health and nutrition of its host, due to their inherent ability to convert low-quality feedstuffs into energy.
