Subject:
animal performance; emissions; energy; feeds; foods; greenhouse gases; in vitro studies; malates; meta-analysis; methane production; ruminants; stoichiometry; volatile fatty acids
Abstract:
... The objective of this meta-analysis was to understand effects of malate on methanogenesis in ruminal batch cultures in order to help explain in vivo responses to malate supplementation. Six published in vitro studies comprising 76 treatment means in which malate was added to compete with methanogenesis for reducing equivalents were combined, and responses of CH₄ and volatile fatty acid production ...

Abstract:
... Four ruminally cannulated primiparous lactating cows were used in a 4×4 Latin square design experiment (28 d periods) with a 2×2 factorial arrangement of treatments to examine effects of eugenol supplementation, concentrate proportion of the diet and their interaction on digestion, ruminal fermentation, microbial populations, milk production and milk composition, including milk fatty acid (FA) pro ...

Abstract:
... Aims: A novel ferulic acid esterase gene from rumen fungus Anaeromyces mucronatus was cloned, heteroexpressed in Escherichia coli and characterized. Methods and Results: A total of 30 clones exhibiting activity on α-naphthyl acetate (α-NA) were isolated from an A. mucronatus YE505 cDNA library. Sequence analysis revealed that these clones represented two esterase-coding sequences. The gene, fae1A, ...

dairy cows; Ruminococcus flavefaciens; probiotics; feed concentrates; forage; cow feeding; rumen fermentation; cellulolytic microorganisms; digestibility; digestive system diseases; strains; microbial ecology; feed supplements; hay
Abstract:
... Many studies have introduced exogenous bacterial strains into the rumen in an attempt to improve fermentation processes or counteract ruminal digestive disorders. Some attempts have been successful in the establishment of the new strain although others have failed. To a large extent, particular conditions necessary to the establishment of a new strain are not yet fully understood. In the present s ...

Methods and Results: Megasphaera elsdenii YE34 was phenotypically characteristic of the species and had 16S rDNA sequence similarity of 98% to previously described isolates. Calibration of the number of cells of M. elsdenii against the cycle threshold of fluorescent dye release gave a s ...

Abstract:
... Streptococci obtained from rumen sources were tested for the production of antibacterial compounds using a deferred-antagonism plating assay. Of 35 isolates tested, 7 were identified that inhibited the growth of other streptococci. None of the inhibitory activity was due to bacteriophage. Three isolates, LRC0253, LRC0255, and LRC0476, were selected for further characterization. Analysis of 16S rib ...

Abstract:
... Bacterial populations in the ileum of broiler chickens were analyzed by molecular analysis of 16S rRNA genes and compared to those in the cecum. Bacteria found in the ileal mucosa were mainly Gram-positive with low G+C content. There were 15 molecular species among 51 cloned sequences. More than 70% of the cloned sequences were related to lactobacilli and Enterococcus cecorum. Two sequences had 95 ...
