Rumen microbial communities influence metabolic phenotypes in lambs [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
The rumen microbiota is an essential part of ruminants forging their nutrition and health. Despite its importance, it is not fully understood how various groups of rumen microbes affect host-microbe relationships and functions.

Association between weaning stress and rumen microbiota in goat kids: evidence from granger causality and randomized controlled trial validation [PDF]

Animal Bioscience
Objective Although there is some evidence linking weaning stress to altered gut flora and stunted development, the exact nature of this relationship is still up for debate.

Lactobacillus Supplementation Modulates Rumen Microbiota and Metabolism in Yaks Under Fattening Feeding Conditions: A Comprehensive Multi-Omics Analysis [PDF]

Animals
The rumen is a critical organ that facilitates nutrient digestion in ruminant animals. However, the biological mechanisms by which rumen microbiota and its metabolites enable Lactobacillus to modulate rumen structure and maintain functional homeostasis ...

The Colonization of Rumen Microbiota and Intervention in Pre-Weaned Ruminants

Animals, 2023
In pre-weaned ruminants, the microbiota colonizes rapidly in the rumen after birth and constantly interacts with the host to sustain health and metabolism.

Maternal rumen and milk microbiota shape the establishment of early-life rumen microbiota in grazing yak calves

Journal of Dairy Science, 2023
: Early-life gut microbial colonization and development exert a profound impact on the health and metabolism of the host throughout the life span. The transmission of microbes from the mother to the offspring affects the succession and establishment of ...

Repeated Inoculation of Young Calves With Rumen Microbiota Does Not Significantly Modulate the Rumen Prokaryotic Microbiota Consistently but Decreases Diarrhea

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
The complex rumen microbiota exhibits some degree of host specificity. The undeveloped simple rumen microbiota is hypothetically more amendable. The objective of this study was to investigate if the rumen prokaryotic microbial assemblage of young calves ...

Heritability and recursive influence of host genetics on the rumen microbiota drive body weight variance in male Hu sheep lambs

Microbiome, 2023
Background Heritable rumen microbiota is an important modulator of ruminant growth performance. However, no information exists to date on host genetics-rumen microbiota interactions and their association with phenotype in sheep. To solve this, we curated

Perturbation dynamics of the rumen microbiota in response to exogenous butyrate. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
The capacity of the rumen microbiota to produce volatile fatty acids (VFAs) has important implications in animal well-being and production. We investigated temporal changes of the rumen microbiota in response to butyrate infusion using pyrosequencing of ...
