Colonization and development of the gut microbiome is a crucial consideration for
optimizing the health and performance of livestock animals. This is mainly attributed to the …

Agriculture is responsible for a great share of the anthropogenic sources of greenhouse
gases that, by warming the earth, threaten its biodiversity. Among greenhouse gas …

The rumen plays an indispensable role in ruminants to utilize ligno-cellulosic material and
convert non-protein nitrogen into nutrients otherwise unavailable for human consumption …

Rumen microorganisms can efficiently degrade lignocellulosic wastes to produce volatile
fatty acids (VFAs). pH is a key factor in controlling the type and yield of VFAs by affecting the …

Silage is rich in nutrients, which can make up for the lack of seasonal roughage, and has a
certain promotion effect on the intensive feeding of ruminants. In addition, silage can …

Rumen microbiota transplantation (RMT) can improve rumen fermentation and ruminant
performance. However, due to the microbial distinction in the fluid and solid phases, the …

Simple Summary The relentless capacity of sequencing every bit of DNA at low cost has
been fueling major advances in several research areas. This also applies to the animal …

The complex microbiome colonizing the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) of ruminants plays an
important role in the development of the immune system, nutrient absorption and …

Ruminant rumen is a biological fermentation system that can efficiently degrade
lignocellulosic biomass. The knowledge about mechanisms of efficient lignocellulose …

In the present study, we evaluated whether the nasopharyngeal, ruminal, and vaginal
microbiota would diverge (1) in virgin yearling beef heifers (9 months old) due to the …
