This work offers a comprehensive analysis of more than 6.5 terabytes of Illumina and Nanopore sequence data, including assembly of 4,941 metagenome-assembled genomes, whole-chromosome assemblies of novel rumen bacteria. Read

The authors of this 2013 Nature publication describe the changes occurring in the rumen ecosystem after birth. Read

This study looks at the impact of different presentations of starter feed (pellet or texturized) on the evolution of total tract and rumen digestibility of DM, NDF, starch, and nitrogen. One key finding is the total tract nutrient disappearance decreases over time (especially with dry matter). Read

Feeding sufficient amounts of colostrum in the first 24 hours of life is well-known to be vital for calf health. Less is known about transition milk feeding and the potential benefits. Read

In this study, molecular markers of rumen development and gene networks regulating the rumen epithelium were identified. Read

Calves undergo a process of rumen development before, during and after weaning. Researchers are still seeking to understand the rumen microbiome development that happens. Click to read the whole study. Read

This study helps develop a methodology for biopsying the rumen and colon in ruminant animals.  Read

This study takes a closer look at how diet and microbiota can affect growth and influence functions in the intestinal tract. Read

This research studies the development of ruminal epithelial bacteria populations and shows how they might participate in the anatomic and functional development of the rumen. Read
