The growing demand for sustainable animal production is compelling researchers to explore
the potential approaches to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases from livestock that are …

The systematic exploration of microbial ecosystem of the rumen was commenced by the
father of rumen microbiology, Robert Hungate, in 1950s. His contributions toward the …

This book presents a series of chapters on the current knowledge with an emphasis on the
interactions of host animal with the microbes in the rumen. The whole content is divided into …

The rumen microbiome represents a complex microbial genetic web where bacteria,
anaerobic rumen fungi (ARF), protozoa and archaea work in harmony contributing to the …

The study assessed the effects of different roughage to concentrate ratios on enteric
methane production, rumen fermentation and microbial counts. These ratios were 80: 20, 50 …

The current study was aimed to determine the effect of rambutan peel powder (RPP)
supplementation on in vitro gas production, rumen fermentation characteristics and methane …

Three strictly anaerobic, methanogenic strains JH1T, JH4 and JH8 were isolated from rumen
of the Korean native cattle (HanWoo; Bos taurus coreanae) in South Korea. The colonies …

Livestock production significantly contributes to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
particularly methane (CH4) emissions thereby influencing climate change. To address this …

Livestock encompasses animals reared for labor and essential commodities like dairy, meat,
and leather for commercial purposes. Ruminants like cows, goats, and sheep form a …

To evaluate relative contributions of different microbial groups in rumen, the mono-culture (ie
bacteria, protozoa and fungi) and co-cultures (ie bacterial–protozoal, fungal–protozoal and …
