Dietary β-hydroxybutyric acid improves the growth performance of young ruminants based on rumen microbiota and volatile fatty acid biosynthesis

Frontiers in Microbiology
IntroductionThe ketone body β-hydroxybutyric acid (BHB) plays critical roles in cellular proliferation and metabolic fuel utilization; however, its effects on the rumen microbiota remain unknown.MethodsHere, three doses of BHB (low, medium, and high ...

Rumen microbiota regulates IMF deposition in Xizang sheep by activating the PPARγ transcription factor: a rumen-muscle axis perspective

mSystems
The interaction between microbiota and muscle by the rumen-muscle axis and its impact on sheep meat flavor has received little attention. This study selected Xizang sheep under summer and autumn grazing conditions as models for different rumen bacteria ...

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.

Synergetic action between the rumen microbiota and bovine health

Microbial Pathogenesis, 2018
Host-rumen-microbe interactions are essential components of many physiological processes, and therefore can affect ruminant health. Classical knowledge of rumen microbiology is based on culture-dependent methodologies, which only account for 10-20% of the rumen bacterial communities. While, the advancement in DNA sequencing and bioinformatics platforms

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

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 ...

Host genetic regulation of specific functional groups in the rumen microbiome of dairy cows: Implications for lactation trait

Journal of Advanced Research
Introduction: Ruminants play a pivotal role in our society by transforming non-consumable substances from industrial by-products and plant fibers into valuable resources such as meat and milk. This remarkable conversion ability is primarily attributed to

Sulfoquinovose degradation by cow rumen microbiota

The ISME Journal
Abstract Sulfoquinovose, a sulfonated sugar derived from the thylakoid membrane lipid sulfoquinovosyl diacylglycerol, is abundant in photosynthetic organisms and plays a key role in global sulfur cycling. Its degradation in nature is mediated by specialized bacteria, many of which rely on the enzyme sulfoquinovosidase (YihQ) to ...

Postbiotics from Saccharomyces cerevisiae fermentation stabilize microbiota in rumen liquid digesta during grain-based subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA) in lactating dairy cows

Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology
Background Subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA) is a common metabolic disorder of high yielding dairy cows, and it is associated with dysbiosis of the rumen and gut microbiome and host inflammation.

Interpretation of the effects of rumen acidosis on the gut microbiota and serum metabolites in calves based on 16S rDNA sequencing and non-target metabolomics

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
IntroductionRumen acidosis is one of the most common diseases in beef cattle. It severely affects the normal development of calves and poses a significant threat to the farming industry.
