The ruminal virome
We undertook random pyrosequencing of
virus-enriched metagenomes (viromes)
isolated from bovine rumen fluid and
analysed the resulting data using
comparative metagenomics. A high level of
diversity was observed with up to 28 000
different viral genotypes obtained from
each environment.

Metabolism in
the rumen
Digestive disorders: lactic acidosis spiral
Rapid ingestion of starch
Streptococcus bovis
takes over
OnlyLactobacillus can grow
Digestive disorders: subacute ruminal acidosis
• 5.1 < pH < 5.8
• No lactic acid
• VFA absorption compromised
• Inappetance, liver abscesses, laminitis
• Very common when high grain fed
• Difficult to detect except post mortem
Digestive disorders: bloat
The ruminal microbiome and animal health
• Ruminal microbiota
• Ruminal function and dysfunction
• The ban of GPA and its consequences
• The microbiome and rumen function
• The microbiome and animal health: SARA
• Conclusions
Regulations controlling use of antimicrobial growth promoters
Sweden Complete ban, 1986 European Union Complete ban, 2006 Australasia Case-by-case North America Case-by-case FAO/WHO Monitor, risk assessment
Concern: antibiotic resistance in animal gut bacteria will be transmitted to human pathogens, making therapy ineffective
Mode of action of monensin: energy metabolism
Cellulose, starch
Glucose
Pyruvate
Propionate Acetate Butyrate
Methane H2
Mode of action of monensin: protein breakdown
• Inhibits ‘hyper-ammonia producing’ bacteria (HAP)
• Adaptation in Prevotella spp. leading to slower
peptide uptake
Digestive disorders: lactic acidosis spiral
Rapid ingestion of starch
Streptococcus bovis
takes over
OnlyLactobacillus can grow
Alternatives to AGP
• Alternative feed additives
– Plant extracts
– Direct-fed microbials
– Bacteriocins
• Bacteriophages
• Immunization
– Methane
– Acidosis
• Genetic control of the microbiome
Essential oils Essential oils are steam-volatile or organic-solvent extracts of plants,
proven to have antimicrobial and insecticidal properties. They
comprise mainly cyclic hydrocarbons and their alcohol, aldehyde or
ester derivatives.
