An Antimethanogenic Nutritional Intervention in Early Life of Ruminants Modifies Ruminal Colonization by Archaea

Abstract: The aim of this work was to study whether feeding a methanogen inhibitor from birth of goat kids and their does has an impact on the archaeal population colonizing the rumen and to what extent the impact persists later in life. Sixteen goats giving birth to two kids were used. Eight does were treated (D+) with bromochloromethane after giving birth and over 2 months. The other 8 goats were not treated (D−). One kid per doe in both groups was treated with bromochloromethane (k+) for 3 months while the other was … Show more

“…BCM has been widely used in ruminants, including cattle (7,32) and goats (6,33), because it can effectively inhibit methanogenesis while having no adverse effect on growth performance. As a result, the impact of BCM on archaeal composition has widely been investigated (6,7,32,33).…”

“…However, the findings of our study are not necessarily fully attributable to a direct dietary effect on the lamb microbiota but may also be a diet effect on the mother's microbiota affecting natural inoculum to the lambs (Hobson, 1997;Dehority, 2003). A recent study of Abecia et al (2014b) working with a methanogenic inhibitor (bromochloromethane, BCM) in goats (kids and does) indicates scope to modify the archaeal community of the host during the development of the rumen and the role of the mother as a source of inoculum of the kids. By weaning and 1 month post-weaning (end of BCM treatment), the methanogen community was affected by the use of a methanogenic inhibitor.…”

“…Other studies indicate (Fonty et al, 1987;Jami et al, 2013;Abecia et al, 2014a) that the rumen microbiome is established shortly after birth and before the rumen starts to be responsible for most of the feed digestion and fermentation. The rumen microbiome established early in ruminant life however, may change over time (Li et al, 2012;Jami et al, 2013) and can be affected by early-life microbial intervention (Yañez-Ruiz et al, 2010;Leahy et al, 2013;Abecia et al, 2014b). Based on previous research, inoculation of the rumen with complex microflora and the inclusion of non-protected fat in the diet of newborn lambs would be considered effective mechanisms to modify the rumen microbiome (Pounden and Hibbs, 1948;Machmüller, 2006;Patra, 2014;Zhong et al, 2014).…”

“…Although some of these strategies have shown promise, not all directly target methanogens. Halogenated compounds (e.g., chloroform and bromochloromethane) are highly potent inhibitors of methanogenesis in ruminants (6,(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21). However, these compounds are not considered appropriate for use in current animal husbandry due to environmental, human health, and animal welfare concerns.…”
