Abstract:

Methane gas is produced in the rumen by methanogenic bacteria as a metabolic end product. The energy released by bacteria in the process of methane formation can be used for bacterial cell formation. Methane formation acts as an electron sink into which the hydrogen from all ruminal microorganisms drains, allowing a higher yield of adenosine triphosphate. Factors such as the type of carbohydrate in the diet, level of feed intake, digesta passage rate presence of ionophores or lipids in the diet, and ambient temperature influence the emission of methane from ruminants.

Abstract:

Maximizing the production of ruminants requires high intakes of feeds that are energy dense, therefore feeds that are usually high in starch. Under these conditions there can be significant passage of partially digested feed starch and fibre to the small intestine. These digesta components interact in a manner that can diminish post-ruminal digestion and absorption. However, in ruminants, the effects of digesta composition on causing physical constraints to digestion and absorption, via increased digesta viscosity have not been given adequate consideration. While elevation of digesta viscosity

Abstract:

Whereas the contribution of ruminants to human civilization remains unequivocal, there are concerns regarding the unintended negative consequences of rearing these animals for food. These concerns range from the ruminant’s contribution to greenhouse gas emissions to negative impacts of its products on the health of consumers. Rearing ruminants for food is thus seen as the root cause of ills such as climate change, species extinction, deforestation, food insecurity, cardiovascular disease, obesity, cancer and diabetes. Indeed, critics of ruminant production envision a future where humanity does

Abstract:

The ruminal microbiota allows ruminants to utilize fibrous feeds and is in the limelight of ruminant nutrition research for many years. However, the overwhelming majority of investigations have focused on bacteria, whereas anaerobic fungi (AF) have been widely neglected by ruminant nutritionists. Anaerobic fungi are not only crucial fiber degraders but also important nutrient sources for the host. This review summarizes the current findings on AF and, most importantly, discusses their new application potentials in modern ruminant nutrition.

Productivity is at a maximum when the principles of chemistry and genetics allow it to proceed no further, even under ideal environmental conditions. It is often limited by current knowledge, which could be improved through research, by the antagonism between selection criteria, or by economic considerations that make additional productivity unrealistic. Emphasis on increased productivity per se should give way to or at least accommodate improved efficiency of production.

Abstract:

The agricultural industry is the main emitter of methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O), gases that each have a global warming potential that is greater than that of CO2 by 23 and 298 times, respectively. On a global scale, enteric fermentation from ruminant animal production (especially of cattle and sheep) is responsible for between 21% and 25% of total anthropogenic CH4 emissions. The search for effective, simple, and fast methods to measure the production of CH4 and other products from ruminal fermentation has been the objective of several studies on ruminant nutrition.

The in-vitro incubation of PUFA sources offers the opportunity of rapidly determining the level of protection offered against ruminal biohydrogenation.

Abstract:

Recent studies have shown that adding exogenous fibrolytic enzymes to ruminant diets can increase milk production of dairy cows and weight gain of growing beef cattle as a result of enhanced feed digestion. While much progress has been made in terms of advancing feed enzyme technology for ruminants, considerable research is still required to develop more effective enzyme products. The mode of action whereby exogenous enzymes improve digestion of plant cell wall is complex, and there is evidence for numerous potential modes of action suggesting they are interdependant.

Abstract:

Anti nutritional factors in tropical legumes are very common and the chemical analysis for tannins has become an important tool to evaluate alternative ruminant feeds in the tropics. However, frequently results from tannin chemical analysis are not in agreement with biological response when animals are fed those feeds. There is a lack of information concerning the biological effects (activity or reactivity) of tannins on ruminants. Usually the effects of tannins are tested in vitro by adding compounds with capacity of biding tannins. The aim of this work was to compare two binding compounds to

High prevalence of Fasciola spp. infection in smallholder large ruminant farming systems has been confirmed in many regions of South-East Asia, yet information on trematode knowledge and any control practices of large ruminant farmers is lacking. We surveyed smallholder farmers (n = 326) in northern Laos on knowledge of liver fluke and its management in their large ruminants, identifying 93.1% of farmers had no knowledge and 6.9% minimal knowledge of the parasite and impacts on large ruminant production.

Our many current environmental challenges, including worldwide abnormal weather, global warming, and pollution, necessitate a new and innovative strategy for animal production for the next generation. This strategy should incorporate not only higher-efficiency production, but also advanced biological concepts and multi-functional agricultural techniques, into environmentally friendly systems.

Abstract:

Ruminants are important sources of meat and milk. Their production is associated with manure excretion. Estimates of over 3,900,000 million metric tonnes of manure are produced daily from ruminants worldwide. Storage and spread of this waste on land pose health risks and environmental problems. Efficient and sustainable way of handling ruminant manure is required. Composting and vermicomposting are considered two of the best techniques for solid biomass waste management. This paper presents vermicomposting as an effective tool for ruminant manure management. Vermicomposting is a mesophilic bio

Abstract:

Enteric fermentation and its corresponding to methane emissions take place in many wild and domestic ruminant species, such as deer, buffalo, cattle, goats, sheep. Ruminant animals are different from other animals in that they have a rumen, a large fore-stomach with a complex microbial environment. A resulting of this process is methane (CH4), which has a global warming potential (25 times that of carbon dioxide (CO2)). Because the digestion process is not 100% efficient, some of the energy intake is lost in the form of methane. Recently, natural plant products, such as tea leaves which are of

Abstract:

As feed evaluation methods for ruminants move towards a more dynamic approach of assessing nutrient supply, in order to reflect the complex nature and microbial intervention in the digestion process in ruminant animals, it is becoming increasingly important to predict the rate, extent and site of digestion. Presently the main method for measuring feed degradation is the in situ polyester bag technique. However, it is now known that this method is not appropriate for starch rich feeds due to the loss of fine particles. An alternative approach is to measure the rumen fermentation kinetics using

This study was conducted to assess the effect of banditry on ruminant animal production in Katsina state. Using a two-stage sampling procedure, 60 ruminant animal farmers (keeping cattle, sheep and goats) in the state were selected for the study. In the first stage, three livestock markets from each of the state agricultural zones namely: Mai’dua, Charanchi and Sheme markets were purposively selected based on the volume of ruminant animal sold there.

Dietary conjugated linoleic acids (CLA) offer significant health benefits for man, and ruminant products are the major dietary sources (Bauman et al., 2001). The synthesis of CLA in the ruminant animal occurs either directly in the rumen or in the tissue from trans -vaccenic acid (TVA), formed primarily as intermediate products of ruminal biohydrogenation of linoleic acid (C18:2) to stearic acid (C18:0). Within the rumen, the pattern of biohydrogenation and the products formed appear to differ between the particle rich and the liquid fractions of the rumen (Singh and Hawke, 1979), with biohydr
