This study was aimed at evaluating the cloning and expression of three rumen microbial fibrolytic enzyme genes in a strain of Lactobacillus reuteri and investigating the probiotic characteristics of these genetically modified lactobacilli. The Neocallimastix patriciarum xylanase gene xynCDBFV, the Fibrobacter succinogenes beta-glucanase (1,3-1,4-beta-D-glucan 4-glucanohydrolase [EC 3.2.1.73]) gene, and the Piromyces rhizinflata cellulase gene eglA were cloned in a strain of L. reuteri isolated from the gastrointestinal tract of broilers. The enzymes were expressed and secreted under the control of the Lactococcus lactis lacA promoter and its secretion signal. The L. reuteri transformed strains not only acquired the capacity to break down soluble carboxymethyl cellulose, beta-glucan, or xylan but also showed high adhesion efficiency to mucin and mucus and resistance to bile salt and acid.

The effect of the biohydrogenation-induced milk fat depression in dairy cows on milk odd and branched chain fatty acids across multiple studies.

Department of Animal Science, Penn State University, University Park, 16802. Electronic address:
Diet-induced milk fat depression (MFD) caused by UFA, and low fiber diets results in an increase in alternate rumen biohydrogenation intermediates. The impact of these MFD-inducing diets on milk odd and branched chain fatty acids (OBCFA) is not well known. The first objective of this study was to characterize the time course of changes in OBCFA in milk fat during induction and recovery of MFD induced with a high UFA and low fiber diet in 3 separate experiments.

Fiber is essential for rumen health, microbial fermentation, and the energy supply of herbivores. Even though the study of fecal fiber contents (neutral detergent fiber NDF, acid detergent fiber ADF, and acid detergent lignin ADL) using near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) has allowed investigating nutritional ecology of different herbivore species, NIRS calibrations are species-specific and require a large number of samples for predictions. A multispecies calibration would be an advantage since samples from different herbivores could be used to calibrate a model capable of predicting the fecal fiber content of other herbivores.

Spirulina () is rich in a variety of fermentable fibers and prebiotics, which can promote the proliferation of beneficial flora in the intestinal tract of ruminants and optimize the balance of microorganisms in the rumen. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether dietary supplementation with Spirulina has a beneficial effect on the rumen microbial community and serum indices in lambs. For this purpose, 36 lambs with a mean weight of 21.

Feed efficiency significantly impacts the economics of beef production and is influenced by biological and environmental factors. The rumen microbiota plays a crucial role in efficiency, with studies increasingly focused on its relationship with different rearing systems. This study analyzed 324 rumen samples from bulls and steers categorized as high and low efficiency based on residual feed intake.

This study hypothesized that combining oregano essential oil () and yeast cultures (s) would modulate rumen microbiota to promote gastrointestinal homeostasis and function. Twenty-four newborn, healthy, disease-free, crossbred Simmental male calves (birth weight ≥ 35 kg) were assigned to one of four treatments based on birth data. Treatments were as follows: (1) Control (), calves fed calf starter without additives; (2) , calves fed calf starter containing 60 mg/kg body weight () of OEO per day; (3) s, calves fed calf starter containing 45 mg/kg BW of YC per day; and (4) , calves fed calf starter with OEO (60 mg/kg, BW) and YC (45 mg/kg, BW) combination.
