The interest of the scientific community in the effects of plant polyphenols on animal nutrition
is increasing. These compounds, in fact, are ubiquitous in the plant kingdom, especially in …

Ruminant production systems face significant challenges currently, driven by heightened
awareness of their negative environmental impact and the rapidly rising global population …

Rumen microbiome composition and functionality is linked to animal feed efficiency,
particularly for bovine ruminants. To investigate this in sheep, we compared rumen bacterial …

The microbes inhabiting the rumen convert low-quality, fibrous, plant material into useable
energy for the host ruminant. Consisting of bacteria, protozoa, fungi, archaea, and viruses …

Extensive ruminant farming systems often face fluctuating pasture availability, resulting in
two periods with very different forage quality. Tannins are natural bioactive compounds able …

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of cashew nut shell extract (CNSE)
and monensin on ruminal in vitro fermentation, CH 4 production, and ruminal bacterial …

Background Many recent studies have gravitated towards manipulating the gastrointestinal
(GI) microbiome of livestock to improve host nutrition and health using dietary interventions …

This study investigated rumen fermentation and histological and microbial diversity in male
Hu lamb fed diets with different metabolizable energy (ME) levels (MEA, 9.17 MJ/kg, MEB …

The objective of this study was to explore the relationships between ruminal microbial
populations from Angus steers that were divergent in carcass traits related to adipose …

Simple Summary Sensors, routinely collected on-farm tests, and other repeatable, high-
throughput measurements can provide novel phenotype information on a frequent basis …
