Feeding Laboratory Mice: Comparing a Standard Versus a Purified Diet – Marked Effects on Digestive Physiology

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Diet composition and processing have a major impact on its utilisation by the animal, as is known from farm and pet animal species. This includes effects on energy and nutrient digestibility, the intermediary metabolism, and the intestinal microbiome, with all the resulting impacts. For laboratory animals, data is scarce on influencing factors

Evaluating the In Vitro Digestibility of Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens L.) Larvae as Potential Feed Ingredient in Dairy Cattle Silage‐Based Diets: A Focus on Proteins

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Dietary protein has a substantial economic impact on cattle feed, and it is also a critical component for animal growth and productivity. Several environmental issues related to soybeans have led to an increased interest in novel protein sources, such as insects.

Associations Between Benzoxazinoids, Plant Development and Nutritional Parameters in Different Maize Maturing Genotypes

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Maize (Zea mays L.) silage is a major energy source in ruminant diets and provides fermentable substrate for the rumen microbiota. In addition, forage maize contains benzoxazinoids (BXs), defence‐related secondary metabolites with antimicrobial activity that remain detectable after ensiling.

Metabolization of Flavan‐3‐ol Oligomers by Eggerthella lenta, a Human Gut Bacterium

Molecular Nutrition &Food Research, Volume 70, Issue 19, 15 October 2026.
Novel human gut bacterial strains were isolated and characterized for their ability to metabolize flavan‐3‐ols. While Eggerthella lenta and Flavonifractor plautii metabolized flavan‐3‐ol monomers, only E. lenta converted B‐ and A‐type procyanidins, demonstrating that this gut bacterium can metabolize flavan‐3‐ol oligomers.

Antibiotic pretreatment minimizes dietary effects on reconstructure of rumen fluid and mucosal microbiota in goats

MicrobiologyOpen, 2018
We used 16S rRNA gene sequencing to examine the posteffects of antibiotic treatment on the structure and metabolism of rumen microbiota. Twelve goats were randomly assigned into two groups, with one group receiving intramuscular streptomycin injection at

The Regulation of Ruminal Short-Chain Fatty Acids on the Functions of Rumen Barriers

Frontiers in Physiology, 2019
The rumen barriers, constituted by the microbial, physical and immune barrier, prevent the transmission of pathogens and toxins to the host tissue in the maintenance of host-microbe homeostasis.

Diagnosing Anaerobic Digesters' Function and Performance: From Meta‐Omics to Integrated Meta‐Omics Analyses

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 5, October 2026.
The integration of multiple meta‐omics can tremendously improve our understanding of the structure, function and dynamics of the complex biological system in anaerobic digesters. Created in BioRender. https://BioRender.com/u9rj8ko. ABSTRACT Anaerobic digestion (AD) of organic wastes by microorganisms into biomethane contributes significantly towards ...

A Single‐Cell Transcriptomic Atlas of the Ovine Rumen Microbiome Characterizes Lineage‐Specific Metabolic Shifts Associated with Host Heat Tolerance

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 51, 14 September 2026.
An optimized single‐cell transcriptomic framework profiles over 60 000 cells to map the ovine rumen microbiome, partitioning the ecosystem into seven cross‐species functional clusters. In heat‐resistant hosts, a lineage‐specific metabolic shift in Anaerovibrio lipolyticus toward a highly glycolytic phenotype contributes to a “nutritional sparing ...

Rumen microbiota succession throughout the perinatal period and its association with postpartum production traits in dairy cows: A review

Animal Nutrition
The transition period for dairy cows usually refers to the 3 weeks pre-calving to the 3 weeks post-calving. During this period, dairy cows undergo metabolic and physiological adaptations because of their susceptibility to metabolic and infectious ...

Livestock Multi‐Omics Integration: A Systematic Framework From Statistical Association to Causal Interpretation

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 50, 7 September 2026.
A three‐tier livestock multi‐omics framework resolves four typical analytical pitfalls. Moving from statistical association through machine learning preprocessing to triple‐modal causal inference, it converts omics results into genomic selection and gene editing strategies to achieve One Health, underpinned by multi‐omics data, multimodal sequencing ...
