Goats are globally invaluable ruminants that balance food security and environmental impacts, their commensal microbiome residing in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) is associated with animal health productivity. However, reference genomes functional repertoires of GIT microbes goat kids have not been fully elucidated. Herein, we performed a comprehensive landscape survey using metagenomic sequencing binning, spanning dense sampling regime covering three compartments spatially five...
With the rapid development of animal husbandry, forage resources are increasingly scarce. Improving utilization rate products and silage efficiency planting is an urgent problem to be solved. This experiment used high moisture alfalfa at budding stage with a water content 71.4% from saline-alkali non-saline-alkali soils as raw materials, setting up four experimental groups: without additives (HNS-CK), compound lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus plantarum + Lactobacillus buchneri Pediococcus...
Abstract Future growth in demand for meat and milk, the socioeconomic environmental challenges that farmers face, represent a “grand challenge humanity”. Improving digestibility of crop residues such as straw could enhance sustainability ruminant production systems. Here, we investigated if transfer rumen contents from bison to cattle alter microbiome total tract barley straw-based diet. Beef heifers were adapted diet 28 days prior experiment. After 46 days, ~70 percent removed each heifer...
The present study investigated whether delaying the first feeding of colostrum affected ileum and colon mucosa-associated microbiota in calves. Twenty-seven male Holstein calves were randomly assigned to 1 3 groups, fed at 45 min, 6 h, 12 h after birth, respectively. Ileum mucosa collected 51 their associated microbial profiles assessed using amplicon sequencing. Both predominated by genus Escherichia-Shigella. negative correlation between molar proportion short-chain fatty acids (SCFA)...
Weaning usually leads to stress in livestock, which has a negative impact on their growth and development. Research oxidative inflammation induced by weaning not been reported goats. Here, we focused profile status of the lower gut (jejunum, ileum, colon) First, illustrated antioxidant activity intestine young goats pre-(2 weeks postnatal, 2 wkpn) or post-(11 wkpn, at day 45 postnatal)-weaned period Malondialdehyde (MDA) was higher (p < 0.0001) jejunum ileum 11 wkpn than that whereas...
Successful establishment of passive immunity (PIT) and regulation intestinal microbiota are crucial for ruminants to maintain body health reduce the risk disease during neonatal period. Thus, objective this study was investigate effects mannan oligosaccharide (MOS) supplementation on transfer immunoglobulin G (IgG), serum inflammatory cytokines antioxidant levels as well bacteria composition in ileal digesta. A total 14 healthy Ganxi black goats with similar birth weight (BW: 2.35 ± 0.55 kg)...
ABSTRACT Large‐scale Cenozoic magmatic rocks in the southern Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau show a key chapter of geological evolution, especially northward subduction and gradual melting Neo‐Tethys Sea plate during collision between Asian continent Indian plate, which reveals its importance. Although some progress has been made study Linzizong volcanic Lhasa India‐Asia collision, closure time exact timing first are still controversial community. This focuses on formation age, geochemical...
Soil nitrogen loss through NH3 volatilization and N2O emissions is a crucial issue in soil ecosystems. In this study, we explored the effects of biochar nitrification inhibitor DMPP (dimethyl-phenyl-piperazinium, inhibitor) vegetable soils under 60 200% WHC (water holding capacity). Five treatments were set: CK (control), urea (N), + (N C), DMPP), C DMPP). Results found that promoted ammonia both moisture conditions, with higher rate accumulation at WHC. maintained high NH4 +-N concentration...
In order to explore the effects of different silage inoculants on quality alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.), this study utilized six groups experimental treatments and five kinds additive treatments: Xinlaiwang I straw (group A), B), Zhuanglemei starter culture C), Baoshiqing D), Kangfuqing S lactic acid bacteria E), another blank control group (CK group, distilled water). The effect fermentation characteristics nutritional value Adina was studied by membership function analysis. main variable...
The objective of this study was to determine whether single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) or single-nucleus (snRNA-seq) more effective for studying the goat pancreas. Pancreas tissues from three healthy 10-day-old female Xiangdong black goats were processed into and suspensions. These suspensions then used compare cellular composition gene expression levels following library construction sequencing. Both scRNA-seq snRNA-seq eligible primary analysis but produced different cell...
BACKGROUND Post-ruminal digestion of fiber has received much less attention than its ruminal digestion. Using in vitro incubation techniques, the present study explored whether variations occurred different segments post-ruminal tract and structure could influence digestibility. A split plot design was conducted with gut (jejunum, ileum, cecum colon) as main substrates (neutral detergent (NDF) cellulose (CEL)) subplot. RESULTS With same substrate, final asymptotic gas volume (VF), production...
Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of adding an exogenous fibrolytic enzyme (FE) on ruminal pH and fermentation, digestibility, growth performance feedlot beef cattle fed a finishing diet containing wheat dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS). In Exp. 1, 4 ruminally cannulated Angus heifers (average BW 807 ± 93.9 kg) used in replicated × Latin square design. Treatments 1) control (CON; 10% barley silage 90% grain–based concentrate), 2) CON substituting 30% DDGS for...
Abstract This study was performed in a 2 × 4 factorial arrangement to explore and compare the effects of inclusion two live Bacillus additives ( B . licheniformis subtilis ) at four doses (0, 0.25 10 7 , 0.50 0.75 colony‐forming units (cfu)) on vitro gas production kinetics, fiber degradation, methane ruminal fermentation characteristics maize stover rice straw by mixed rumen microorganisms dairy cows. The pH concentrations ammonia nitrogen NH 3 ‐N isovalerate were increased P < 0.05),...
Diarrhea and disorders in young goats are serious threats to the animals' health, influencing profitability of goat industry. There is a need better understand potential biomarkers that can reflect mortality morbidity neonatal diarrhea goats. Ten pairs twin kid from same does (one healthy other diagnosed as diarrhea) with age under 14 days after birth were used this study. Since gastrointestinal infection probably first ailment goats, we aimed investigate changes oxidative stress,...
A series of batch cultures were conducted to investigate the effects oleic acid (OA) on in vitro ruminal dry matter degradability (IVDMD), gas production, methane (CH4) and hydrogen (H2) proportion fatty acids. Rumen fluid was collected from fistulated goats, diluted with incubation buffer, then incubated 500 mg Leymus chinensis meal supplemented different amounts OA (0, 20, 40, 60 for CON, OA20, OA40 OA60 groups, respectively). Incubation carried out anaerobically at 39°C 48 h, samples...
