Effects of the straw inclusion in the diet of dairy calves on growth performance, rumen fermentation, and blood metabolites during pre- and post-weaning periods

Michal Gasiorek et al.

Summary: The study showed that adding 10%-15% chopped straw into the starter feed of dairy calves can improve intake and growth performance, as well as promote rumen fermentation. However, increasing the straw content in the feed to 20% may negatively affect growth performance.

Effects of Concentrate Supplementation on Growth Performance, Rumen Fermentation, and Bacterial Community Composition in Grazing Yaks during the Warm Season

Dongwen Dai et al.

Summary: In this study, concentrate supplementation was found to improve the growth performance of grazing yaks during the warm season by enhancing ruminal fermentation and altering bacterial community composition. The supplemental feed led to increased average daily gain, serum biochemical parameters, and rumen fermentation, suggesting a positive impact on the overall health and growth potential of yaks.

Unveiling the Bovine Epimural Microbiota Composition and Putative Function

Catia Pacifico et al.

Summary: This study conducted a meta-analysis of 11 publicly available amplicon studies on the rumen epimural microbiota, revealing key technical and biological sources of variation between experiments. Despite factors like country of origin and primer set influencing microbial abundance, a core microbiota was still identifiable in nearly all epithelium samples (>90%), showing the composition and functional potential of the cattle rumen epimural microbiota.

Metabolites Secreted by Bovine Embryos In Vitro Predict Pregnancies That the Recipient Plasma Metabolome Cannot, and Vice Versa

Enrique Gomez et al.

Summary: This study utilized mass spectrometry-based metabolomics as a predictive tool to analyze metabolites in embryo culture media and recipient plasma for accurate prediction of pregnancy in cattle. Specific metabolites in embryos and recipients were found to play a crucial role in pregnancy establishment and development, highlighting the importance of efficient lipid metabolism and phenolic changes in influencing pregnancy outcomes.

The rumen microbiome: balancing food security and environmental impacts

Itzhak Mizrahi et al.

Summary: Ruminants produce edible products and methane through their complex rumen microbial community. Traditional methods to reduce methane production have limited and temporary effects. Increased understanding of the host-microbiome interactions has led to new mitigation strategies.

Effect of substrate load on anaerobic fermentation of rice straw with rumen liquid as inoculum: Hydrolysis and acidogenesis efficiency, enzymatic activities and rumen bacterial community structure

Jinsong Liang et al.

Summary: This study found that at a 10.0% rice straw load, the highest VFA concentration, mainly composed of acetic acid and propionic acid, was achieved, along with high SCOD concentration and enzyme activities. Lower diversity and richness of rumen bacteria were observed at this load compared to others. Bacteroides, Prevotella, and Ruminococcus were identified as the main rumen bacteria during rice straw degradation.

Supplementary feeding of cattle-yak in the cold season alters rumen microbes, volatile fatty acids, and expression of SGLT1 in the rumen epithelium

Yuzhu Sha et al.

Summary: This study found that supplementary feeding during the cold season can alter the microbial community structure and volatile fatty acid content in the rumen of cattle-yak, and decrease the expression of ruminal epithelial SGLT1.

Auxiliary rapid identification of pathogenic and antagonistic microorganisms associated with Coptis chinensis root rot by high-throughput sequencing

Hailang Liao et al.

Summary: Through high-throughput sequencing, this study found that diseased C. chinensis plants had a higher abundance of pathogenic microorganisms in the endosphere, while certain bacteria may have antagonistic effects. These results provide new insights and microbial resources for future studies on mitigating or preventing root rot damage to C. chinensis.

Dynamics of rumen bacterial composition of yak (Bos grunniens) in response to dietary supplements during the cold season

Anum Ali Ahmad et al.

Summary: This study investigated the rumen bacterial community and fermentation products of yak under different dietary conditions. The results showed that supplementation with concentrate led to higher concentrations of ammonia nitrogen and TVFA, along with lower pH, while differences were observed in bacterial community structure between groups.
