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.

Effect of Alkaline Mineral Complex Buffer Supplementation on Milk Performance, Serum Variables, Rumen Fermentation and Rumen Microbiota of Transition Dairy Cows

Fermentation, 2023
The present study investigates the effect of 50 mL AMCB taken daily as a dietary supplement on the rumen fermentation, microbiota, and production performance of 40 Holstein dairy cows in the transition period with 2.76 ± 0.48 parity and 650 ± 25 kg body ...

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.

Host Immune Selection of Rumen Bacteria through Salivary Secretory IgA

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
The rumen microbiome is integral to efficient production in cattle and shows strong host specificity, yet little is known about what host factors shape rumen microbial composition.

Repeated inoculation with fresh rumen fluid before or during weaning modulates the microbiota composition and co-occurrence of the rumen and colon of lambs

BMC Microbiology, 2020
Background Many recent studies have gravitated towards manipulating the gastrointestinal (GI) microbiome of livestock to improve host nutrition and health using dietary interventions.

Effect of Dietary Protein Levels on Dynamic Changes and Interactions of Ruminal Microbiota and Metabolites in Yaks on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
To improve performance and optimize rumen function in yaks (Bos grunniens), further knowledge on the appropriate dietary protein levels for ruminal microbiota and the metabolite profiles of yaks in feedlot feeding is necessary.

Rumen and colon-centered microbiota-liver interactions associated with bile acid-related metabolic regulation in sheep [PDF]

PeerJ
Background Ruminant gastrointestinal microbiota are spatially heterogeneous, yet whether the rumen microbiota contributes to bile acid-related gut–liver associations beyond its local fermentative role remains unclear. Here, paired rumen, ileum, and colon

Survey of rumen microbiota of domestic grazing yak during different growth stages revealed novel maturation patterns of four key microbial groups and their dynamic interactions

Animal Microbiome, 2020
Background The development and maturation of rumen microbiota across the lifetime of grazing yaks remain unexplored due to the varied lifestyles and feed types of yaks as well as the challenges of obtaining samples.

Animal board invited review: The effect of diet on rumen microbial composition in dairy cows

Animal
Ruminants play an important part in the food supply chain, and manipulating rumen microbiota is important to maximising ruminants’ production. Rumen microbiota through rumen fermentation produces as major end products volatile fatty acids that provide ...
