Feed efficiency is one of the economically important traits for the cattle industry that affects
profit (feed costs) and the environment (production of manure and methane). Due to that …

The ruminant gastrointestinal tract (GIT) faces the challenge of protecting the host from
luminal contents and pathogens, while supporting the absorption and metabolism of …

Background The increased growth rate of young animals can lead to higher lactation
performance in adult goats; however, the effects of the ruminal microbiome on the growth of …

Background Adaptive shifts in gut microbiome composition are one route by which animals
adapt to seasonal changes in food availability and diet. However, outside of dietary shifts …

Rumen microbiome composition and functionality is linked to animal feed efficiency,
particularly for bovine ruminants. To investigate this in sheep, we compared rumen bacterial …

The bovine gastrointestinal (GI) tract microbiota has important influences on animal health
and production. Presently, a large number of studies have used high-throughput sequencing …

Microbiomes are foundational components of the environment that provide essential
services relating to food security, carbon sequestration, human health, and the overall well …

Production of methane by methanogenic archaea, or methanogens, in the rumen of
ruminants is a thermodynamic necessity for microbial conversion of feed to volatile fatty …

Paddy soil accounts for 10% of global atmospheric methane (CH 4) emissions. Many types
of fertilizers may enhance CH 4 emissions, especially organic fertilizer. The aim of this study …

In this meta-analysis, 17 rumen epithelial 16S rRNA gene Illumina MiSeq amplicon
sequencing data sets were analyzed to identify a core rumen epithelial microbiota and core …
