Microbial ecology and activities in the rumen: part 1.
P. N. Hobson,R. J. Wallace +1 more
TL;DR: This review describes the progress which has been made during the last 10 to 15 years in the field of rumen microbiology, basically an account of new discoveries in the bacteriology, protozoology, biochemistry, and ecology of the rumen microbial population.
Journal ArticleDOI
Urease activity in the rumen of sheep and the isolation of ureolytic bacteria.
TL;DR: It was concluded that a ureolytic strain of Streptococcus faecium was the main source of rumen urease in roughage-fed, and probably other, sheep.
Sustainable improvement of animal production and health.
TL;DR: In this article, a short review of the role of nuclear and related techniques in resolving problems of livestock kept by the poor in developing countries, the author acknowledges previous reviews in this area which dealt with the use of these techniques in generating new information on the elaboration of metabolic pathways, in unraveling the complexity of disease transmission, in understanding feedbacks in the endocrine system in relation to reproductive and metabolic hormones, and in attenuating parasites for vaccine production.

Feeding of tropical trees and shrub foliages as a strategy to reduce ruminal methanogenesis: studies conducted in Cuba.
Denia Delgado,Juana Galindo,Rogelio González,Niurca González,Idania Scull,L.E. Dihigo,J. Cairo,Ana I. Aldama,Onidia Moreira +8 more
TL;DR: The results of these experiments suggest that the feeding of tropical tree and shrub foliages could be an attractive strategy for reduction of ruminal methanogenesis from animals fed with low-quality forage diets and for improving their productivity.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of rumen and post-rumen feeding of carbohydrates on the caecal microflora of sheep.
S. O. Mann,E. R. ØRskov +1 more
TL;DR: When sheep were bottle-fed with solutions of glucose, sucrose or maltose, so avoiding fermentation in the rumen, there was a marked increase in the number of caecal bacteria, with a higher percentage of viable bacteria, compared withCaecal counts from sheep fed conventionally on carbohydrates.
