“…Another study by Yang et al ( 37 ) found that alfalfa intervention had no effect on the alpha diversity of ruminal bacteria in Hu lambs (age 66 days). The current study showed that Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes, and Proteobacteria were the three core phyla, which is consistent with the results by Zhang et al ( 35 ). Feeding with FWBPs had no effect on the structure and composition of ruminal bacteria at the phylum level.…”

“…The rumen microbiota is responsible for converting normally indigestible feedstuffs into VFAs and microbial protein in ruminants ( 34 , 35 ). Herein, we evaluate the effects of FWBPs supplementation to MR on the structure and composition of ruminal bacteria by high-throughput sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene V4 region and the relationship between altered rumen bacteria (genus) and rumen fermentation parameters by Spearman's correlation analysis.…”

There is growing interest in the utilization of plant polysaccharides for the modulation of the rumen bacterial community and enhancement of growth performance in ruminants. Fermented wheat bran polysaccharides (FWBPs), plant polysaccharides, have been shown to improve the growth performance of lambs, but little is known about their effect on rumen bacteria. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of FWBPs supplementation to milk replacer (MR) on the growth performance, blood metabolites, weight and morphology of rumen, rumen fermentation, and rumen bacterial community which were investigated in lambs. Twelve 1.5-month-old crossbred lambs (Dorper × Small-tailed Han Sheep) with an initial body weight (BW) of 11.38 ± 0.19 kg were randomly divided into two groups, namely, the control group and FWBPs group. Compared with the control group, the FWBPs group had a higher average daily weight gain and serum total protein concentrations, and a lower feed: gain ratio. A tendency of increase in final BW and carcass BW was also observed. Administration of FWBPs increased the ruminal papillae width and ruminal butyrate proportion and decreased the concentration of ammonia nitrogen and the proportion of isobutyrate and isovalerate. In addition, the epithelial cell thickness had an increased trend in the FWBPs group. High-throughput sequencing data showed that the relative abundance of Lachnospiraceae_NK3A20_group and Solobacterium was enhanced by FWBP treatment; meanwhile, the relative abundance of NK4A214_group, Megasphaera, and Treponema showed a tendency to be higher than that of the control group. Furthermore, Spearman's correlation analysis revealed that the relative abundances of NK4A214_group, Treponema, and Lachnospiraceae_NK3A20_group were positively correlated with butyrate proportion. Collectively, FWBPs supplementation to MR on lambs altered the rumen bacterial community, promoted rumen development, and improved growth performance.

“…It was reported that the cecal digestion mechanism in geese is similar to that of a rumen [ 8 ]. Some cellulose that is difficult to digest by host enzymes, such as plant cellulose, resistant starch, and oligosaccharides, can be fermented by cecal microorganisms to produce SCFAs that are absorbed by the intestinal epithelium as additional energy for the host [ 27 ]. Ruminococcaceae are mainly cellulolytic microorganism species that can degrade cellulose effectively [ 28 ], and Intestinimonas are butyrate-producing bacteria [ 29 , 30 ].…”

Goose meat is consumed by consumers because it contains a relatively high proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). This study was conducted to explore the main differences in production performance, breast meat quality traits, and cecal microbiota compositions between the Zi goose (ZG) and Xianghai flying goose (FG). The production performance and breast meat quality trait analyses showed that compared with the ZG, the FG had a higher right breast muscle index, ileum villi height/crypt depth ratio (VH/CD), and cecum fermentation rate (higher short-chain fatty acid (SFCA) concentration); a lower abdominal fat index; a higher proportion of PUFAs; and a lower shear force. Spearman’s correlation coefficients between the cecal microbiota composition and production performance indexes suggested that the genus Faecalibacterium was positively associated with production performance; in contrast, the genus Candidatus Saccharimonas was negatively correlated with production performance; moreover, the Ruminococcus torques group, Parasutterella, and Methanobrevibacter were negatively related to the VH/CD. Taken together, in this particular trial, FG had better production performance, healthier meat quality traits, and better intestinal digestion and absorption capacities than ZG. These results not only provide a useful data reference for the production of healthy geese for human consumption but can also help guide the utilization of goose breed resources.

“…Feed composition plays a significant role in shaping the rumen microbiome of calves by modulating initial colonization [ 65 , 66 ]. Proteobacteria is the dominant microbial in the newborn calves, then replaced by Bacteroidetes during the ruminal development [ 24 , 67 ], and ruminants with well-developed ruminal flora are more robust in challenging diarrhea.…”

Due to their unique multi-gastric digestion system highly adapted for rumination, dairy livestock has complicated physiology different from monogastric animals. However, the microbiome-based mechanism of the digestion system is congenial for biology approaches. Different omics and their integration have been widely applied in the dairy sciences since the previous decade for investigating their physiology, pathology, and the development of feed and management protocols. The rumen microbiome can digest dietary components into utilizable sugars, proteins, and volatile fatty acids, contributing to the energy intake and feed efficiency of dairy animals, which has become one target of the basis for omics applications in dairy science. Rumen, liver, and mammary gland are also frequently targeted in omics because of their crucial impact on dairy animals’ energy metabolism, production performance, and health status. The application of omics has made outstanding contributions to a more profound understanding of the physiology, etiology, and optimizing the management strategy of dairy animals, while the multi-omics method could draw information of different levels and organs together, providing an unprecedented broad scope on traits of dairy animals. This article reviewed recent omics and multi-omics researches on physiology, feeding, and pathology on dairy animals and also performed the potential of multi-omics on systematic dairy research.
