Consumption of milk and dairy products is important in Western industrialised countries. Fat
content is an important constituent contributing to the nutritional quality of milk and dairy …

Although fat content in usual ruminant diets is very low, fat supplements can be given to
farm ruminants to modulate rumen activity or the fatty acid (FA) profile of meat and milk. …

Gastrointestinal strongyles are a major threat to horses' health and welfare. Given that strongyles
inhabit the same niche as the gut microbiota, they may interact with each other. These …

The growing range of drug resistant parasitic nematode populations threatens the sustainability
of ruminant farming worldwide. In this context, nutraceuticals, animal feed that provides …

Milk and meat of ruminants have a specific fatty acid composition due to (i) extensive
biohydrogenation processes in the rumen, which is the main site of feed digestion, (ii) de novo …

Ruminants are dependent on their rumen microbiota to obtain energy from plants. The
composition of the microbiome was well-known to be associated with health status, and …

Background Milk yield and fine composition in sheep depend on the volatile and long-chain
fatty acids, microbial proteins, vitamins produced through feedstuff digestion by the rumen …

Ruminants are dependent on their rumen microbiota to obtain energy from plants. The
composition of the microbiome was well-known to be associated with health status, and …

Using two successive types of diets (100% concentrate and 67% forage), this study explores
the relationship between the ruminal microbiota of 78 Romane lambs and their feed …

Introduction Microbial digestion is of key importance for ruminants, and disturbances can
affect efficiency and quality of products for human consumers. Ruminal biohydrogenation of …
