“…In 2022, our research team detected aerobic fungi within the rumen of buffalo during an experimental study conducted in Yunnan, China ( Wang et al, 2022 ). Rumen fluid samples in this trial were collected 2 h after morning feeding.…”

“…Neto’s study in 2020 indicated the presence of Trichoderma in the rumen and emphasized its ability to survive ( Fabino Neto et al, 2020 ). In 2022, our research group detected aerobic fungi in the rumen of buffaloes ( Wang et al, 2022 ). Researchers speculate that these fungi may represent opportunistic populations residing in feed and other substrates and may not directly participate in rumen fermentation or their specific role remains unknown.…”

The rumen serves as a complex ecosystem, harboring diverse microbial communities that play crucial ecological roles. Because previous studies have predominantly focused on anaerobic microorganisms, limited attention has been given to aerobic microorganisms in the goat rumen. This study aims to explore the diversity of aerobic microorganisms in the rumen and understand their niche and ecological roles. Rumen fluid samples were collected from 6 goats at different time points post-morning feeding. pH, NH3-N, and volatile fatty acid (TVFA) concentrations were measured, while In vitro cultivation of aerobic microorganisms was performed using PDA medium. Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) and 16S sequencing unveiled microbial diversity within the rumen fluid samples. Evidence of obligate aerobic microorganisms in the goat rumen suggests their potential contribution to ecological functionalities. Significantly, certain aerobic microorganisms exhibited correlations with TVFA levels, implying their involvement in TVFA metabolism. This study provides evidence of the existence and potential ecological roles of obligate aerobic microorganisms in the goat rumen. The findings underscore the significance of comprehensively deciphering goat rumen microbial communities and their interactions, with aerobes regarded as permanent residents rather than transients. These insights form a solid foundation for advancing our understanding of the intricate interplay between goat and their aerobic microorganisms in the rumen.

“…The only similarity between the two species was the higher linoleic acid content in the experimental groups (Penchev et al, 2016). According to Wang et al (2022), a study found that Bacteroidetes were the predominant bacteria in the rumen flora of buffaloes fed with king grass and straw. However, Firmicutes were not dominant.…”

Hay remains a fundamental component of ruminant diets across the globe and was introduced to conserve extra forage from grasslands for the use of livestock in the months of fodder scarcity and winter season. Both grasses and legume crops can be converted into hay, but the choice largely depends on the type of livestock farmers keep. Many studies have shown that good fertilizer management, tillage practices and seed rate affect the protein content, energy yield and digestibility parameters of the hay. This review explores the complex dynamics of hay utilization within the context of ruminant nutrition and the impact of hay quality on rumen fermentation, nutrient digestibility and overall animal performance. Factors influencing hay intake, such as physical characteristics and processing methods are also discussed. Additionally, strategies to optimize hay utilization, including supplementation and hay blending are also discussed. Furthermore, areas of future research direction to enhance understanding of hay role in ruminant feeding systems are highlighted in the article.
