Inhaltsangabe

Major advances in analytical techniques and genomics have transformed our understanding of rumen microbiology. This understanding is of critical importance to livestock production since rumen function affects nutritional efficiency, emissions from ruminants (such as methane and nitrous oxide) as well as animal health. This collection reviews what we know about rumen microbiota and the role of nutritional strategies in optimising their function for more sustainable livestock production.

Part 1 summarises advances in understanding colonisation by rumen microbiota as well as advanced methods for analysing the rumen microbiome. Part 2 reviews recent research on the role of different types of rumen microbiota such as archea, anaerobic fungi, viruses and the rumen wall microbial community. Part 3 discusses the way the rumen processes nutrients such as fibre and protein as well as outputs such as energy, lipids and methane emissions. Part 4 explores nutritional strategies to optimise rumen function, including the role of pasture, silage, cereal feed, plant secondary compounds and probiotics.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

Dr Chris McSweeney is Chief Research Scientist at CSIRO, Australia, and is internationally-renowned for his research in ruminant gut microbiology and its implications for nutrition and livestock emissions.

Dr Rod Mackie is Professor of Microbiology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA. Professor Mackie is a leading expert on microbial ecology in the ruminant gut and its impact on nutrition and health, as well as the use of bacteria in bioenergy applications.

Christopher Creevey is Professor of Computational Biology at the School of Biological Sciences and the Institute of Global Food Security (IGFS), Queen's University, Belfast (QUB). He is an authority in systems-level analyses of biological function in both model and non-model organisms having worked previously in the European Molecular Biology Laboratory in Heidelberg and as a Science Foundation Ireland Stokes Lecturer in Teagasc and a Reader in Rumen Systems Biology at IBERS, Aberystwyth University. He develops de novo computational strategies for metagenomic and metatranscriptomic data from natural microbial communities and their hosts. Prof. Creevey leads computational analyses of the Rumen microbiome and has contributed to our understanding of the current gaps in the cultured representatives based on global meta-taxonomic sequencing.
