Today Roche announced the global launch of its Cedex Bio HT Analyzer for the highly reliable determination of metabolites and substrates in mammalian and microbial cell fermentation. The Cedex Bio HT...

Mettler Toledo publishes paper on bioprocess monitoring

Mettler Toledo has published a white paper on bioprocess monitoring entitled “Fermentation: Inline Real-Time Monitoring of Key Process Parameters.” It reviews four examples of how the inline probe...

Responses in digestion, rumen fermentation and microbial populations to inhibition of methane formation by a halogenated methane analogue.

The effects of the anti-methanogenic compound, bromochloromethane (BCM), on rumen microbial fermentation and ecology were examined in vivo. Japanese goats were fed a diet of 50 % Timothy grass and 50...

Effect of bromochloromethane on methane emission, rumen fermentation pattern, milk yield, and fatty acid profile in lactating dairy goats.

Several technologies have been tested to reduce enteric methanogenesis, but very few have been successfully used in practical conditions for livestock. Furthermore, the consequences of reduced rumen m...

Simultaneous Estimation of the pH of Rumen and Reticulum Fluids of Cows Using a Radio-Transmission pH-Measurement System.

Circadian pH changes in the fluid of the rumen (bottom and middle) and reticulum were assessed simultaneously using wireless and wired radio-transmission pH-measurement systems in cows fed a control d...

Effects of tea saponins on rumen microbiota, rumen fermentation, methane production and growth performance-a review.

Reducing methane emission from ruminant animals has implications not only for global environmental protection but also for efficient animal production. Tea saponins (TS) extracted from seeds, leaves o...

In vitro rumen fermentation and methane production are influenced by active components of essential oils combined with fumarate.

Two trials were conducted to identify the optimal levels of essential oil active components (EOAC) and their combination with fumarate on in vitro rumen fermentation. In trial 1, eugenol, carvacrol, c...
