Microbiomes contribute to variation in many plant and animal traits, suggesting that
microbiome-mediated traits could evolve through selection on the host. However, for such …

During the previous decades, the growing demand for animal origin products has gained
considerable attention. As a result, livestock breeding has faced a rapid intensification in …

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 …

Background Healthier ruminant products can be achieved by adequate manipulation of the
rumen microbiota to increase the flux of beneficial fatty acids reaching host tissues. Genomic …

This study investigated the combined effects of nitrate (NT) and medium-chain fatty acids
(MCFA), including C8, C10, C12, and C14, on methane (CH4) production, rumen …

Background Heritable rumen microbiota is an important modulator of ruminant growth
performance. However, no information exists to date on host genetics-rumen microbiota …

The rumen microbiome is responsible for methane emission in ruminants. The study of
microbes in the rumen has attracted great interest in the last decade. High-throughput …

While the ruminant gut archaeome regulates the gut microbiota and hydrogen balance, it is
also a major producer of the greenhouse gas methane. However, ruminant gut archaeome …

Enteric CH 4 produced from dairy cows contributes to the greenhouse gas emission from
anthropogenic sources. Recent studies have shown that the selection of lower CH 4 emitting …

Ruminant livestock play a key role in global society through the conversion of
lignocellulolytic plant matter into high-quality sources of protein for human consumption …
