Project description:Feed regimens have a pivotal role in modulating the transcriptional programs that, in turns, have an impact on many biological processes, including metabolism, health and development. Green feed diet in ruminant exerts a beneficial effect on rumen metabolism and enhances the content of health-promoting biomolecules in the milk. However, a comprehensive analysis focused to the identification of genes, and therefore, biological processes modulated by the green feed diet in buffalo rumen has never been reported so far. In this regard, to highlight the impact of the green feed diet on ruminal transcriptomic profiles, we performed RNA-sequencing in buffaloes fed a total mixed ratio (TMR) + the inclusion of 30% of ryegrass green feed (treated group) in comparison with buffaloes fed a dry TMR diet (control group).

Project description:Effect of different feed additives on Rumen Bacteria in Buffalo
Project description:The rumen harbors a complex mixture of archaea, bacteria, protozoa and fungi that efficiently breakdown plant biomass and its complex dietary carbohydrates into soluble sugars that can be fermented and subsequently converted into metabolites and nutrients utilized by the host animal. While rumen bacteria populations have been well documented, only a fraction of the rumen eukarya are taxonomically and functionally characterized, despite the recognition that they contribute to the cellulolytic phenotype of the rumen fauna. To investigate how anaerobic fungi actively engage in digestion of recalcitrant fiber that is resistant to the initial stages of rumination, we resolved genome-centric metaproteome and metatranscriptome datasets generated from switchgrass samples incubated in nylon bags within the rumen of cannulated dairy cows for 48 hours.
