Sex differences in rumen fermentation and microbiota of Tibetan goat [PDF]
Background The gut microbiota play an important role in maintaining host metabolism, the immune system and health, while sex, genotype, diet and health have specific effects on the composition of the gut microbiota.

Effects of Thymol Supplementation on Goat Rumen Fermentation and Rumen Microbiota In Vitro [PDF]
This study was performed to explore the predominant responses of rumen microbiota with thymol supplementation as well as effective dose of thymol on rumen fermentation. Thymol at different concentrations, i.e., 0, 100 mg/L, 200 mg/L, and 400 mg/L (four groups × five replications) was applied for 24 h of fermentation in a rumen fluid incubation system ...

Live Bacillus subtilis natto Promotes Rumen Fermentation by Modulating Rumen Microbiota In Vitro
Previous studies have shown that Bacillus subtilis natto affects rumen fermentation and rumen microbial community structure, which are limited to detect a few microbial abundances using traditional methods. However, the regulation of B. subtilis natto on rumen microorganisms and the mechanisms of microbiota that affect rumen fermentation is still ...

Effect of Cistanche deserticola on Rumen Microbiota and Rumen Function in Grazing Sheep
For a long time, veterinary drugs and chemical additives have been widely used in livestock and poultry breeding to improve production performance. However, problems such as drug residues in food are causing serious concerns. The use of functional plants and their extracts to improve production performance is becoming increasingly popular.

Rumen microbiota and dietary fat: a mutual shaping [PDF]
Although fat content in usual ruminant diets is very low, fat supplements can be given to farm ruminants to modulate rumen activity or the fatty acid (FA) profile of meat and milk. Unsaturated FAs, which are dominant in common fat sources for ruminants, have negative effects on microbial growth, especially protozoa and fibrolytic bacteria. In turn, the

The Temporal Dynamics of Rumen Microbiota in Early Weaned Lambs [PDF]
Weaning affects the development of ruminal bacteria in lambs during early life. However, the temporal dynamics of rumen microbiota in early weaned lambs is unknown compared to conventionally weaned lambs. In this study, one group was reared with their dams (control, CON) and conventionally weaned at 49 days (d), while the other lambs were weaned at 21 ...

Comparative Analysis of the Effects of Mogroside V, Epigallocatechin Gallate, and Resveratrol on Growth Performance, Blood Parameters, Rumen Microbiota, and Short-Chain Fatty Acid Metabolism in Heat-Stressed Hu Sheep. [PDF]
Comparative effects of Mogroside V, EGCG, and resveratrol in heat‐stressed Hu sheep. ABSTRACT Hu sheep are highly prized for their tender meat, but heat stress (HS) caused by the high temperature and humidity in southern China severely impacts their performance.

In vitro rumen simulations show a reduced disappearance of deoxynivalenol, nivalenol and enniatin B at conditions of rumen acidosis and lower microbial activity [PDF]
Ruminants are generally considered to be less susceptible to the effects of mycotoxins than monogastric animals as the rumen microbiota are capable of detoxifying some of these toxins.

Rumen Microbiota and Nutrient Metabolism: A Review
The rumen consists of a complex ecosystem where nutrients consumed by ruminants are digested by fermentation process, which is executed by diverse microorganisms such as bacteria, protozoa, fungi, bacteriophage and oscillospira. A symbiotic relationship is found among different groups of microorganisms due to the diverse nature of these microbial ...
