Change of Endoglucanase Activity and Rumen Microbial Community During Biodegradation of Cellulose Using Rumen Microbiota [PDF]
Treatment with rumen microorganisms improves the methane fermentation of undegradable lignocellulosic biomass; however, the role of endoglucanase in lignocellulose digestion remains unclear. This study was conducted to investigate endoglucanases contributing to cellulose degradation during treatment with rumen microorganisms, using carboxymethyl ...

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

In vitro study of dietary factors affecting the biohydrogenation shift from trans-11 to trans-10 fatty acids in the rumen of dairy cows [PDF]
On the basis of the isomer-specific effects of trans fatty acids (FA) on human health, and the detrimental effect of t10,c12-conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) on cows’ milk fat production, there is a need to identify factors that affect the shift from trans-

Whole-plant corn silage improves rumen fermentation and growth performance of beef cattle by altering rumen microbiota [PDF]
Abstract BackgroundIn recent years, whole-plant corn silage had been widely used in China. Roughage was an important source of nutrition for ruminants and had an important effect on rumen microbiota, which plays an important role in animal growth performance and feed digestion.
