Short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) are essential to cattle as a source of energy and for other
roles in metabolism. These molecules are formed during fermentation by microbes in the …

This experiment was designed to investigate the relation of high and low methane-yield
phenotypes with body weight (BW), dry matter intake (DMI), lactation performance, enteric …

Prickly Ash Seeds (PAS), as a traditional Chinese medicinal herb, have pharmacological
effects such as anti-asthma, anti-thrombotic, and anti-bacterial, but their impact on gut …

Fermentation is a type of metabolism carried out by organisms in environments without

This study compared the growth performance, serum biochemical indicators, rumen
fermentation parameters, rumen bacterial structure, and fecal bacterial structure of cattle and …

It is assumed that the absolute amount of methane (CH 4) produced on a given diet
increases proportionately (ie, in a linear manner) with the amount of digested fibre …

Simple Summary Heat stress (HS) constantly happens to dry lot feeding sheep during the
summer, inevitably causing substantial losses to animal production due to its unfavorable …

Background This research aimed to investigate differences in rumen fermentation
characteristics between Karakul sheep and Hu sheep reared under identical conditions. The …

The interactions between the rumen microbiota and the host are crucial for the digestive and
absorptive processes of ruminants, and they are heavily influenced by the climatic …

Background Recent data indicated similar growth performance of young calves fed solely
high-quality hay instead of a starter diet based on starchy ingredients. Yet, providing …
