Meat and milk from ruminants provide an important source of protein and other nutrients for
human consumption. Although ruminants have a unique advantage of being able to …

Rumen fermentation affects ruminants productivity and the environmental impact of ruminant
production. The release to the atmosphere of methane produced in the rumen is a loss of …

Ruminants produce considerable amounts of methane during their digestive process, which
makes the livestock industry as one of the largest sources of anthropogenic greenhouse …

Background: Massive high-throughput sequencing of short, hypervariable segments of the
16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene has transformed the methodological landscape describing …

The objective of this study was to investigate whether the CH 4 mitigation potential of 3-
nitrooxypropanol (3-NOP) in dairy cattle was affected by basal diet (BD) composition. The …

The objective of the present study was to investigate the effect of individual and combined
use of dietary fat, nitrate, and 3-nitrooxypropanol (3-NOP) on dairy cows' enteric methane …

Ruminant livestock is a major source of the potent greenhouse gas methane. The complex
rumen microbiome, consisting of bacteria, archaea, and microbial eukaryotes, facilitates …

Saprophagous fly larvae interact with a rich community of bacteria in decomposing organic
matter. Larvae of some species, such as the black soldier fly, can process a wide range of …

Niche modification is a process whereby the activity of organisms modifies their local
environment creating new niches for other organisms. This process can have a substantial …

Marine sponges (phylum Porifera) are leading organisms for the discovery of bioactive
compounds from nature. Their often rich and species-specific microbiota is hypothesised to …
