Lactobacillus Supplementation Modulates Rumen Microbiota and Metabolism in Yaks Under Fattening Feeding Conditions: A Comprehensive Multi-Omics Analysis

Animals
The rumen is a critical organ that facilitates nutrient digestion in ruminant animals. However, the biological mechanisms by which rumen microbiota and its metabolites enable Lactobacillus to modulate rumen structure and maintain functional homeostasis ...

The relationship of the ruminant microbiome to animal health and disease: A review

Journal of Animal Science and Veterinary Medicine
Animal scientists, veterinarians, and food-animal producers relate the health and well-being of animals to their internal and external environmental surroundings, as a result of either stressors or stimulants that can impact the production and efficiency of those animals.

Effects of dietary restriction and one-carbon metabolite supplementation during the first 63 days of gestation on the maternal gut, vaginal, and blood microbiota in cattle

Animal Microbiome
Background Maternal diet quality and quantity have significant impacts on both maternal and fetal health and development. The composition and function of the maternal gut microbiome is also significantly influenced by diet; however, little is known about

International Symposium on Ruminant Physiology: The role of rumen microbiome in the development of methane mitigation strategies for ruminant livestock

Journal of Dairy Science
Ruminants play an important role in global food security and nutrition. The rumen microbial community provides ruminants with a unique ability to convert human indigestible plant matter into high quality edible protein. However, enteric CH4 produced in the rumen is both a potent GHG and a ME loss for ruminants.

Subacute ruminal acidosis: a still incompletely understood pathology [PDF]

, 2013
peer reviewedSubacute ruminal acidosis (SARA) is a major problem in high-producing dairy cows. The drop in ruminal pH below 5.6 was considered as the major factor inducing this pathology till recently.

Impacts of prenatal nutrition on metabolic pathways in beef cattle: an integrative approach using metabolomics and metagenomics

BMC Genomics
Background This study assessed the long-term metabolic effects of prenatal nutrition in Nelore bulls through an integrated analysis of metabolome and microbiome data to elucidate the interconnected host-microbe metabolic pathways. To this end, a total of

Diet shifts provoke complex and variable changes in the metabolic networks of the ruminal microbiome [PDF]

, 2017
Background Grazing mammals rely on their ruminal microbial symbionts to convert plant structural biomass into metabolites they can assimilate. To explore how this complex metabolic system adapts to the host animal’s diet, we inferred a microbiome-level ...
