Rumen microorganisms and fermentation

Abstract: RESUMENEl rumen es un ecosistema complejo donde los nutrientes consumidos por los rumiantes son digeridos mediante un proceso de fermentación realizado por los microorganismos ruminales (bacterias, protozoos y hongos). Dichos microorganismos están en simbiosis, debido a su capacidad de adaptación e interacción, y mientras el rumiante proporciona el ambiente necesario para su establecimiento estos proporcionan energía al animal, la que proviene de los productos finales de la fermentación. Dentro del rumen, los … Show more

“…The SCFAs and microbial protein meet the majority of a ruminant's energy and protein demands. Within the rumen ecosystem, osmolality and temperature are important physicochemical parameters that impact the activity, survival, and balance among the ruminal microbial population . It has been shown that high‐concentrate feeding, which results in increased dry matter intake and is rapidly fermented, elevates the temperature and osmolality of the rumen content .…”

“…About 36% of methane emissions came from agricultural manure management (10%) and enteric fermentation in livestock such as cattle, buffalo, sheep and goats (26%) (US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), 2016). These ruminants gain energy from fibrous feed, relying on symbiotic relationships with bacteria, fungi and protozoa in their rumen (Castillo-Gonz alez et al, 2014). Microbial populations play an important role in releasing energy by digesting the fiber and producing fermentation acids.…”

“…The use of living or dead yeast cultures, such as certain strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, favors ruminal fiber digestion, which increases the population of microorganisms that utilize lactic acid and reduce the pH fluctuation of ruminal fluid (Gonzalez et al, 2014).…”
