Unique rumen micromorphology and microbiota–metabolite interactions: features and strategies for Tibetan sheep adaptation to the plateau

Frontiers in Microbiology
The rumen microbiota—a symbiont to its host and consists of critical functional substances—plays a vital role in the animal body and represents a new perspective in the study of adaptive evolution in animals. This study used Slide Viewer slicing analysis

Altitude influences microbial diversity and herbage fermentation in the rumen of yaks

BMC Microbiology, 2020
Background Rumen microbiota in ruminants are vital for sustaining good rumen ecology, health, and productivity. Currently, limited information is available regarding the response of yaks (Bos grunniens) to fluctuating environments, especially the rumen ...

The Effect of Alpine Herbs on the Microbiota of In Vitro Rumen Fermentation

Fermentation
Milk from cows grazing on alpine pastures has higher quality than milk from indoor-fed cows, likely due to diet-driven differences in rumen microbiota. We assessed the effects of supplementing alpine herbs—each varying in its content of fiber, protein, and polyphenol—on rumen microbiota via in vitro fermentation, comparing these to a grass hay control ...

Differential responses of rumen and fecal fermentation and microbiota of Liaoning cashmere goats after 2-hydroxy-4-(methylthio) butanoic acid isopropyl ester supplementation

Scientific Reports
The 2-hydroxy-4-(methylthio) butanoic acid isopropyl ester (HMBi), a rumen protective methionine, has been extensively studied in dairy cows and beef cattle and has been shown to regulate gastrointestinal microbiota and improve production performance ...

Effects of Rhodopseudomonas palustris on the Rumen Microbiota of Leizhou Goats

Animals
This study investigated the effects of Rhodopseudomonas palustris (R. palustris) supplementation on the rumen microbiota of Leizhou goats and explored its potential mechanisms. Thirty healthy Leizhou goats of similar weight and age were selected and randomly assigned to five groups (six goats per group) using a completely randomized block design for a ...

Effects of short-term fasting on rumen microbiota and rumen fermentation characteristics

Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2019
Objective 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.
