Live Bacillus subtilis natto Promotes Rumen Fermentation by Modulating Rumen Microbiota In Vitro

Animals, 2021
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 ...

In Vitro Modulation of Rumen Fermentation by Microbiota from the Recombination of Rumen Fluid and Solid Phases

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
This is the first study to systematically evaluate the in vitro fermentation efficiency of diets by bacteria harvested and recombined from the fluid and solid phases of rumen contents, and it took into account the effect of washing the rumen solid phase. Using “reconstituted rumen content”, this study confirmed that

Dietary spirulina supplementation modifies rumen development, fermentation and bacteria composition in Hu sheep when consuming high-fat dietary

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2023
IntroductionThis study aims to investigate the long-term effects of spirulina supplementation in a high-fat diet (HFD) on rumen morphology, rumen fermentation, and the composition of rumen microbiota in lambs.

Rumen microbial communities influence metabolic phenotypes in lambs

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
The rumen microbiota is an essential part of ruminants forging their nutrition and health. Despite its importance, it is not fully understood how various groups of rumen microbes affect host-microbe relationships and functions.

Effects of short-term fasting on in vivo rumen microbiota and in vitro rumen fermentation characteristics [PDF]

Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2019
Fasting may lead to changes in the microbiota and activity in the rumen. In the present study, the effects of fasting on rumen microbiota and the impact of fasting on in vitro rumen fermentation were evaluated using molecular culture-independent methods.Three ruminally cannulated Holstein steers were fed rice straw and concentrates.

Ruminal microbiota–host interaction and its effect on nutrient metabolism

Animal Nutrition, 2021
Rumen microbiota has a close and intensive interaction with the ruminants. Microbiota residing in the rumen digests and ferments plant organic matters into nutrients that are subsequently utilized by the host, making ruminants a unique group of animals ...

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 ...

Effects of Lycium barbarum Residue Substituting Dietary Maize on Fecal Microbiota and Growth Performance of Crossbred Simmental Cattle

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
The bioactive substances we extracted from Lycium barbarum residue (LBR) have a typical polysaccharide structure. When 1.80% LBR was used to replace maize in the diet, the average daily gain of rossbred Simmental was significantly increased, and anti‐inflammatory ability was improved. In addition, LBR improved the fecal microbial composition, increased

Fructan Catabolism by Rumen Microbiota of Cattle and Sheep

Fermentation, 2023
Fructans serve as the primary form of storage carbohydrate in cool-season grasses, but little is known about potential differences in ruminal fermentation of fructans between cattle and sheep. An ex vivo study was conducted to evaluate species differences in fructan catabolism.

Gut Health in Ostriches (Struthio camelus): Insights Into Intestinal Structure, Functions, Microbiome, and Improvement Strategies

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Our paper systematically reviews the intestinal structure, function, and microbiota of ostriches, along with strategies for improving their gut health. We analyze how these factors collectively influence intestinal homeostasis and ostrich welfare, emphasizing probiotics as a promising intervention to enhance gut health, boost population well‐being, and
