Effects of Thymol Supplementation on Goat Rumen Fermentation and Rumen Microbiota In Vitro [PDF]

Microorganisms, 2020
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 ...

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.

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

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.

Understanding the role of rumen epithelial host-microbe interactions in cattle feed efficiency

Animal Nutrition, 2022
Feed efficiency is one of the economically important traits for the cattle industry that affects profit (feed costs) and the environment (production of manure and methane).

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.

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.
