“It works amazingly and never fails.” But the rumen has a dark side. The porous, fleshy chamber hosts single-celled organisms called archaea, which break down hydrogen and carbon ...

Using the rumen liquid samples, the scientists are studying the microbes that convert hydrogen into methane, which is not digested by the cow but instead burped out. A single cow will burp roughly ...

Drought-stressed corn silage can have from 75 to 90 percent of the feed value of normal corn silage, but there are some issues to be aware of when dealing with drought-stressed corn silage.

During the holiday season, humans may experience stomach churning caused by a change in diet to rich holiday food. Stomach ...

Citrate increases the population of bacteria involved in lactate production in the rumen, he explains. Lactate consumes hydrogen, which is an essential substrate for methane production.

“To work, the vaccine would need to produce antibodies that bind with the bacteria in the rumen that produce the methane, and stop them from doing so.” However, he adds, developing it is a ...

Microbiology can impact on many different areas, such as: agriculture, where rumen microbes are both essential to dairy and good industries, but also responsible for much of New Zealand’s carbon ...
