Holistic Assessment of Rumen Microbiome Dynamics through Quantitative Metatranscriptomics Reveals Multifunctional Redundancy during Key Steps of Anaerobic Feed Degradation

mSystems, 2018
Ruminant livestock is a major source of the potent greenhouse gas methane. The complex rumen microbiome, consisting of bacteria, archaea, and microbial eukaryotes, facilitates anaerobic plant biomass degradation in the cow rumen, leading to methane ...

The rumen microbiome: Abrief review

Theory and practice of meat processing
The rumen microbiome is a complex dynamic community of microorganisms that participate in digestion and provide an utmost impact on the cattle efficiency. Despite significant advancements in microbiome research, understanding the formation and management of the rumen microbiome still remains a significant scientific challenge. This

A Genomic Catalog of Migratory Microbiomes from Wild Birds across China's Habitats

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 26, 8 May 2026.
ABSTRACT Migratory birds play an important role in the spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR); however, gaps in surveillance data from vital regions along migratory flyways across China limit the detection of emergent threats. Here, we assembled 340 metagenomes from 52 bird species covering 11 provincial administrative districts in China, presenting ...

CowPI: A Rumen Microbiome Focussed Version of the PICRUSt Functional Inference Software

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Metataxonomic 16S rDNA based studies are a commonplace and useful tool in the research of the microbiome, but they do not provide the full investigative power of metagenomics and metatranscriptomics for revealing the functional potential of microbial ...

Impact of rumen microbiome on cattle carcass traits

Scientific Reports
AbstractRumen microbes are crucial in the anaerobic fermentation of plant polysaccharides to produce volatile fatty acids. However, limited information exists about the specific microbial species and strains in the rumen that affect carcass traits, and it is unclear whether there is a relationship between rumen metabolic functions and these traits ...

- Invited Review - Chemical signalling within the rumen microbiome. [PDF]

Anim Biosci
Ruminants possess a specialized four-compartment forestomach, consisting of the reticulum, rumen, omasum, and abomasum. The rumen, the primary fermentative chamber, harbours a dynamic ecosystem comprising bacteria, protozoa, fungi, archaea, and bacteriophages.

Viruses contribute to microbial diversification in the rumen ecosystem and are associated with certain animal production traits

Microbiome
Background The rumen microbiome enables ruminants to digest otherwise indigestible feedstuffs, thereby facilitating the production of high-quality protein, albeit with suboptimal efficiency and producing methane.

Rumen Microbiome from Steers Differing in Feed Efficiency

PLOS ONE, 2015
The cattle rumen has a diverse microbial ecosystem that is essential for the host to digest plant material. Extremes in body weight (BW) gain in mice and humans have been associated with different intestinal microbial populations. The objective of this study was to characterize the microbiome of the cattle rumen among steers differing in feed ...
