Both ruminal microbial structure and functionality might play a role in inter-individual variation susceptibility for subacute rumen acidosis (SARA) observed dairy cows. The aims of this study were to determine whether differences between cows with distinct SARA reflected (1) communities, (2) salivary bacterial (3) fermentative capacity microbiota assessed vitro. To test hypothesis, samples collected via an esophageal tube on 21 d postpartum from 38 multiparous Holstein cows, which...
Methyl laurate was synthesized from lauric acid (LA) and methanol via an esterification reaction using ionic liquids (ILs) as catalysts. The efficiencies of three different catalysts, 1-methylimidazole hydrogen sulfate ([Hmim]HSO 4 ), 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidonium ([Hnmp]HSO ) H 2 SO , were compared. effect the methanol/LA molar ratio, temperature, time catalyst dosage on rate LA investigated by single-factor experiments. Based experiments, optimized response surface methodology. results showed...

The use of the fermented total mixed ration (FTMR) is a promising approach for preservation homogeneous feed, but changes during fermentation and links with bacterial community FTMR are not fully understood. This study investigated effects adding oat silage (OS) to in terms fermentation, chemical composition, community. quality 22% OS was greatly improved, as demonstrated by decreases butyric acid concentration, lower lactic acid/acetic ratio, larger population bacteria (LAB), quicker...
Abstract In this study, we investigated the inhibitory effect of low temperature on biogas fermentation system. Biogas inoculum was domesticated at 4 °C, and subsequently inoculated into pig manure feedstock in a batch process. A low-temperature system maintained 9 its abiotic factors, bacterial community, archaeal community were determined. The results showed that (1) lasted for 160 days, with total gas production 19,150 ml, including N 2 11,370 CO 3,534 CH 3,031 ml. (2) average relative...
In recent years, expanded granular sludge blanket (EGSB) reactor has been widely used in the treatment of high-concentration organic wastewater, but its research mainly focused on efficiency and microbial community composition. There were few studies relationship operation conditions energy utilization efficiency. Therefore, methanogenic characteristics EGSB studied by using cassava alcohol wastewater (CAW) as a raw material at (36 ± 1) °C. The results show that degradation volatile fatty...
Abstract To comprehensively assess the efficacy of employing internal circulation (IC) anaerobic reactor for corn alcohol wastewater treatment and investigate its feasibility, this study focused on digestion parameters, energy balance, composition prokaryotic microbial community. During operation reactor, hydraulic retention time was progressively reduced from 4.8 to 1.6 days while achieving an average organic loading rate 12.46 kg chemical oxygen demand (COD)/(m3·d). Moreover, removal COD...
Abstract Nitroethane (NE), 2-nitroethanol (NEOH) and 2-nitro-1-propanol (NPOH) were investigated in order to determine their inhibitory effects on vitro ruminal fermentation methane (CH 4 ) production of a hay-rich substrate (alfalfa hay: maize meal = 4:1, w/w). The rumen liquor collected from cannulated Holstein dairy cows was incubated at 39 °C for 72 h. addition NE, NEOH NPOH slowed down the process notably decreased molar CH proportion by 96.8, 96.4 35.0%, respectively. abundance total...
