Board-invited review: Rumen microbiology: Leading the way in microbial ecology1,2
ABSTRACT: Robert Hungate, considered the father of rumen microbiology, was the fi rst to initiate a systematic exploration of the microbial ecosystem of the rumen, but he was not alone. The techniques he developed to isolate and identify cellulose-digesting bacteria from the rumen have had a major impact not only in delineating the complex ecosystem of the rumen but also in clinical microbiolog...

Impact of feed efficiency and diet on adaptive variations in the bacterial community in the rumen fluid of cattle Assessment of the microbial ecology of luminal methanogens in cattle with different feed efficiencies Characterization of variation in rumen methanogenic communities under different dietary and host feed efficiency conditions, as determined by PCR-Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophor...
متن کاملAdvances in evaluating and altering the rumenmicrobial ecosystem
The manipulation of the rumen microbial ecosystem to improve animal productivity and lessen environmental impacts has been a research goal for many decades. Impediments to a targeted manipulation of the rumen have included a lack of knowledge of the diversity of the rumen microbial population as well as a lack of methods to thoroughly evaluate microbial changes. Molecular based studies of the r...

متن کاملManipulating Ruminal Fermentation: A Microbial Ecological Perspective1
The essential role of ruminal microflora in ruminant nutrition provides the potential for improvement in animal production via altering the numbers or activities of specific classes of microorganisms. Successful alterations will be facilitated by an understanding of the microbial ecology of the rumen based on its mechanistic underpinnings. Demonstrated improvements in ruminal fermentation can b...
