Rumen microbiota has a close and intensive interaction with the ruminants. Microbiota
residing in the rumen digests and ferments plant organic matters into nutrients that are …

Anaerobic fungi (AF, phylum Neocallimastigomycota) are best known for their ability to
efficiently break down lignocellulosic biomass. Their unique combination of mechanical and …

Current knowledge about the relationships between ruminal bacterial communities and
metabolite profiles in the yak rumen is limited. This is due to differences in the nutritional and …

Targeting the gastrointestinal microbiome for improvement of feed efficiency and reduction
of production costs is a potential promising strategy. However little progress has been made …

The mycotoxin profile of 135 raw milk samples from camel (n= 25), cow (n= 23) and goat (n=
87) in Nigeria was assessed by an ultra-sensitive LC-MS/MS method. Four, seven and 17 of …

In this study, differences in the ruminal bacterial community between high-yield and low-
yield lactating dairy cows under the same dietary conditions were investigated. Sixteen …

The abilities of certain microorganisms to be transferred across the food production chain,
persist in the final product and, potentially, colonize the human gut are poorly understood …

The rumen microbiota comprises a community of microorganisms which specialise in the
degradation of complex carbohydrates from plant-based feed. These microbes play a highly …

Biochar is a novel carbonized feed additive sourced from pyrolyzed biomass. This
compound is known to adsorb gasses and carbon, participate in biological redox reactions …

Traditionally, yaks graze only natural grassland, even in harsh winters. Meat from grazing
yaks is considered very healthy; however, feedlot fattening, which includes concentrate, has …
