Sex differences in rumen fermentation and microbiota of Tibetan goat [PDF]

Microbial Cell Factories, 2022
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.

Understanding the functionality of the rumen microbiota: searching for better opportunities for rumen microbial manipulation [PDF]

Animal Bioscience
Rumen microbiota play a central role in the digestive process of ruminants. Their remarkable ability to break down complex plant fibers and proteins, converting them into essential organic compounds that provide animals with energy and nutrition ...

Impact of rumen cannulation surgery on rumen microbiota composition in Hanwoo steers

Journal of Animal Science and Technology
Rumen cannulation is a surgical technique used to collect rumen contents from ruminants. However, rumen cannulation surgery may potentially impact the composition of the rumen microbiota.

Effect of Cistanche deserticola on Rumen Microbiota and Rumen Function in Grazing Sheep

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
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.

Review: The application of omics to rumen microbiota function [PDF]

Animal, 2018
Rumen microbiome profiling uses 16S rRNA (18S rRNA, internal transcribed spacer) gene sequencing, a method that usually sequences a small portion of a single gene and is often biased and varies between different laboratories. Functional information can be inferred from this data, but only for those that are closely related to known annotated species ...

Effect of Tea Saponins on Rumen Microbiota and Rumen Function in Qinchuan Beef Cattle

Microorganisms, 2023
Antibiotics can promote livestock growth but have side effects, so the search for safe and effective alternatives to antibiotics is urgent. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of supplementing cattle feed with tea saponins on ruminal bacteria and fungi.

Rumen Microbiota and Nutrient Metabolism: A Review

Bhartiya Krishi Anusandhan Patrika, 2022
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 ...

Characterization of antibiotic resistance genes in the species of the rumen microbiota [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2019
AbstractInfections caused by multidrug resistant bacteria represent a therapeutic challenge both in clinical settings and in livestock production, but the prevalence of antibiotic resistance genes among the species of bacteria that colonize the gastrointestinal tract of ruminants is not well characterized.

Impact of Chestnut and Quebracho Tannins on Rumen Microbiota of Bovines [PDF]

BioMed Research International, 2017
The use of phytogenic dietary additives is being evaluated as a means to improve animal productivity. The effect of tannins seems to be the influence not only directly on the digestive process through binding of dietary proteins but also indirectly over their effects on gastrointestinal microbiota.

Host genetics influence the rumen microbiota and heritable rumen microbial features associate with feed efficiency in cattle

Microbiome, 2019
Background The symbiotic rumen microbiota is essential for the digestion of plant fibers and contributes to the variation of production and health traits in ruminants.
