Butyrate and subacute ruminal acidosis affect abundance of membrane proteins involved with proton and short chain fatty acid transport in the rumen epithelium of dairy cows
Download2013
Steele, Michael A., Dionissopoulos, Louis, McBride, Brian W., AlZahal, Ousama, Greenwood, Sabrina L., Laarman, Anne H.
The objective of this study was to elucidate the effects of butyrate on the Short Chain Fatty Acids (SCFA) membrane transport proteins and proton membrane transport proteins in the rumen epithelium. Sixteen mid-lactation cows were fed a 44% Non-Fibre Carbohydrate (NFC) diet and divided into a...

Subacute Ruminal Acidosis (SARA) is a disorder in cattle which can lead to chronic inflammation in the rumen epithelium, known as rumenitis. Butyrate has been shown to attenuate some of the detrimental effects of inflammatory gastroenteral disorders but the molecular mechanisms mediated by...

Direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) is the recently discovered microbial syntropy between bacteria and methanogens in anaerobic digestion process that can accelerate the syntrophic conversion of various reduced organic compounds into methane through cell-to-cell electron transfer coupled...

Short-chain fatty acids influence host immunity, mucus secretion and microbial community structure to reduce enteritis
DownloadFall 2016
Optimal intestinal health is critical to overall host well-being, and acute and chronic enteric inflammatory diseases impart a significant detrimental impact on Canadians. The consumption of dietary fibre (DF) has long been associated with providing a health benefit to individuals, and regulatory...

The Effect of Risk for Subacute Ruminal Acidosis, Feeding Frequency, and Photoperiod on the Feeding Behaviour of Lactating Dairy Cows
DownloadFall 2016
Cows fed the same high-grain diet have a large variation in rumen pH and can be categorized as higher or lower risk for developing subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA). The objective of this research was to determine if differences in feeding behaviour existed between the two categories and if these...

There is an increase in the prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) worldwide, and this appears to be associated with an increase in the consumption of a Western diet high in fat and sugar, and low in fiber. Previous work shows that two-day exposure to high sugar diets increases the...
