Biomimicking ruminant digestion strategies (RDSs) into anaerobic digestion (AD) enables efficient bioconversion of lignocellulosic biomass. Understanding RDSs is essential to translate their features into designing and developing bioprocesses and bioreactors. Here, we discuss insights into recently developed bioinspired bioprocesses, bioreactors, and future AD systems based on RDSs.

The increasing frequency of droughts and water scarcity has intensified interest in drought-tolerant plants and their by-products as sustainable feed alternatives for ruminants. This study assessed the partial replacement of alfalfa hay (AH) with camelina straw (CS) at 120 (CS12) and 240 (CS24) g/kg of DM in diets of Grey Shirazi lambs ( = 24, average body weight = 22.7 ± 1.

Buckwheat is a common straw crop that contains an abundance of flavonoids and could be used as an antioxidant additive in animal diets. In this study, the effects of a commercial buckwheat rhizome flavonoid extract (BRFE) on milk production, plasma pro-oxidant and antioxidant, the ruminal metagenome, and ruminal metabolites in dairy goats were evaluated. Forty healthy, multiparous, nonpregnant Guanzhong dairy goats were blocked by DIM (122 ± 5.

Several factors influence the effectiveness of forage in ruminant rations, including NDF content and the physical nature, fragility, digestibility, and more of the forage. Recently, several studies suggested using the undigestible NDF (uNDF) fraction as a possible approach to achieve a more precise ration. The objective of the current study was to reduce the forage content of the diet by using the in vitro forage uNDF for diet formulation and to determine the effects on production, rumen environment, and digestibility.

To fulfill the global demand for sustainable livestock production and the implementation of circular economy models, the search for alternative feed sources to lower production cost has increased significantly. The use of agro-industrial waste has proven to be a low-cost strategy for animal feed. The present study evaluates the use of spent mushroom substrate (SMS) from Pleurotus ostreatus (strain Po-IAP) and Lentinula edodes (strain L5) as an ingredient for silage.

Elevated blood nonesterified fatty acids (NEFA) concentration in prepartum increases the risk of postpartum diseases. This study evaluated whether intraruminal propylene glycol (PG) or sucrose (SC) administration could mitigate elevated blood NEFA induced by intravenous lipid infusion. Four nonlactating, nonpregnant Holstein cows fitted with rumen cannulas were used in a 4 × 4 Latin square design: intravenous saline infusion and ruminal administration of water (S + WT), lipid infusion and administration of water (L + WT), lipid infusion and PG administration (L + PG), and lipid infusion and SC administration (L + SC).
