TL;DR: The results document the wide diversity of microorganisms in the lower respiratory tract of cattle that have succumbed to BRD and strongly suggest that antimicrobial-resistant Pasteurellaceae strains are prevalent in BRD cases in Alberta and that the resistance observed is associated with ICEs.

TL;DR: The transient nature of the inhibition of methane production by the antibodies may have arisen from instability of the antibodies in ruminal fluid, or to the presence of non-culturable methanogens unaffected by the antibody activity that was administered.

TL;DR: Anaerobic chytrid strains (representing four genera and seven species based on morphological characters), obtained from a variety of hosts, were analysed for variability within the 5' terminal segment of the ribosomal large subunit (LSU) gene, first internal transcribed spacer (ITS1), and the intergenic spacers (IGS) of the ribsomal repeat unit.

TL;DR: Scanning electron microscopy revealed the pattern and extent of seed coat rupture from hand-cracking and from micronized to be similar, but micronization-mediated changes to the internal structures were evident in ground...

TL;DR: Methanosarcina barkeri CM1 was isolated from the rumen of a New Zealand Friesian cow grazing a ryegrass/clover pasture, and its genome has been sequenced to provide information on the phylogenetic diversity of rumen methanogens with a view to developing technologies for methane mitigation.
