Persistent productivity and productive lifespan determine the lifetime output of dairy cows and influence overall herd profitability. The composition and metabolic activity of the gastrointestinal microbiota of dairy cows influence persistent productivity. However, the processes ...

Background In large-scale poultry farming, broilers of the same breed, sharing a common genetic background and identical management conditions, nevertheless exhibit considerable individual variation in body weight. Multitudinous stressors can profoundly influence the host microbiota, thereby...
AIM: Low-molecular-weight organic substances (LMWOSs) are at the nexus between micro-organisms, plant roots, detritus and the soil mineral matrix. The nominal oxidation state of carbon (NOSC) has been suggested as a potential parameter for modelling microbial uptake rates of LMWO...
Starch is a primary food ingredient and bulk industrial feedstock. Producing starch through fermentation-based low-carbon microbial manufacturing serves as an arable land-independent and carbon-neutral/negative approach, while the efficiency of this route is highly d...
Background: With the pursuit of rapid intramuscular fat deposition in beef cattle, basal diets have increasingly shifted toward grain-based, energy-dense formulations. However, high-starch dietary regimens may induce host metabolic dysregulation, which is closely linked to both ruminal microbial ...
