effect of urea fertilization on biomass yield chemical composition in vitro Rumen digestibility and fermentation characteristics of forage oat straw in tibet of china
The Journal of Agricultural Science, 2016Co-Authors: J H Cui, H J Yang, S Bai, S S Song, Wei Sun, X M Shao, L S JiangAbstract:The present study investigated the effects of different levels of urea nitrogen (N) fertilizer on nutrient accumulation, in vitro Rumen gas production and fermentation characteristics of forage oat straw (FOS) from oats ( Avena sativa L. ‘Qinghai 444’) grown in the Tibet region of China. Fertilizer, applied at seeding (day 1), stem elongation (days 52–54) and heading (days 63–67), increased plant height and prolonged the maturity stage of the plant by 4–11 days compared with the non-fertilized control. Oat plants were harvested at maturity at the node 3–4 cm above ground, and then separated into grains and FOS. Both FOS and grain yields increased quadratically with increasing N fertilization, and their theoretical maximums occurred at the N fertilizing rates of 439 and 385 kg/ha, respectively. Increases in N fertilization did not affect the hemicellulose content of FOS, but substantially promoted the accumulation of crude protein, cellulose and lignin, resulting in a decrease in the energy content available for metabolism. A 72-h incubation of FOS with Rumen Fluids from lactating cows showed that increasing N resulted in FOS that showed a slower fermentation rate, decreased in vitro dry matter disappearance and lower cumulative gas production, but unchanged fermentation gas composition. Nitrogen fertilization increased the final pH in culture Fluids and decreased the microbial volatile fatty acid (VFA) production. The molar proportions of acetate and propionate were not affected, but molar propionate proportion decreased linearly with increasing urea fertilization, and consequently, the ratio of lipogenic (e.g., acetate and butyrate)-to-glucogenic acids (propionate) tended to increase. In brief, increasing urea N fertilization promoted the growth of forage oats and increased the biomass yield as well as the crude protein and cellulose content of FOS. Considering the negative effect of increased lignin content on nutrient digestibility and total VFA production, the suggested range of urea N fertilization is 156–363 kg N/ha for forage oats planted in Tibet to retain the nutritive value of FOS in the Rumen.

effect of roughage fibre content on fibrolytic activities and volatile fatty acid profiles of neocallimastix sp yak11 isolated from Rumen Fluids of yak bos grunniens
Animal Feed Science and Technology, 2011Co-Authors: Yunhe Cao, H J YangAbstract:A 10-day pure culture of Neocallimastix sp. YAK11, isolated from Rumen Fluids of yak (Bos grunniens) was evaluated for fibrolytic activity, apparent dry matter disappearance (ADMD), ferulic acid, reducing sugars and volatile fatty acids (VFA). The fungus was grown on oat straw (OS), corn stalks (CS), rice straw (RS) and wheat straw (WS). Recovered activity of ferulic acid esterase peaked at day 5 in all roughages, and the lowest activity was found with low fibre OS throughout the incubation (P 0.42, P<0.01). Molar proportions of acetate and valerate did not differ in the roughages. The lowest propionate and branch chained VFA levels occurred in WS (P=0.0115), and the highest butyrate levels occurred in OS throughout the 10-d incubation (P=0.0464). The highest ratio of non-glucogenic to glucogenic acids (NGR) occurred in WS (P=0.0481). NGR peaked for all roughages around day 3 and then slightly declined for the rest of the experiment. In general, the isolate was capable of a pronounced degradation that would depend on the fibre content of the roughages. Screening of fungi from Rumen Fluids of yak would appear to be a useful strategy to obtain highly active esterases and polysaccharide hydrolases.

effects of crude feruloyl and acetyl esterase solutions of neocallimastix sp yq1 and anaeromyces sp yq3 isolated from holstein steers on hydrolysis of chinese wildrye grass hay wheat bran maize bran wheat straw and corn stalks
Animal Feed Science and Technology, 2009Co-Authors: H J Yang, D F Zhang, J Q WangAbstract:Abstract Neocallimastix sp. YQ1 and Anaeromyces sp. YQ3 were isolated from Rumen Fluids of Holstein steers using a modification of the roll-tube technique of Hungate (1969) . After a 9-day incubation for YQ1, and a 4-day incubation for YQ3, with optimal carbon and N supply in cultures, crude enzyme solutions of both fungi were prepared by centrifuging cultures for 10 min at 1000 × g at 4 °C. Enzymological characteristics of ferulic acid esterase and acetyl esterase were measured in the crude enzyme solution. The Michaelis constants ( K m ) and maximum velocities ( V max ) of ferulic acid esterase against methyl ferulate at pH 6.0 and 39 °C were 30 μM and 8.05 mU for YQ1 and 129 μM and 3.15 mU for YQ3, respectively. With substrate of p -nitrophenyl acetate, the K m and V max of AE at pH 6.0 and 39 °C were 0.21 mM and 336 mU for YQ1 and 5.26 mM and 854 mU for YQ3. Enzymatic release of reducing sugar, ferulic acid, and p -coumaric acid from complex fibre-rich feedstuffs was evaluated, and YQ3 released more reducing sugars from wheat straw, but less from the other plant materials especially maize bran and corn stalks. YQ3 liberated much more hydroxycinnamic acids from corn stalks, and YQ1 liberated much more hydroxycinnamic acids from maize bran. Anaerobic Rumen fungi showed species diversity of enzymological characteristics of ferulic acid esterase and acetyl ester esterase, and exhibited a strong capability to release ferulic acid and p -coumaric acid from complex fibre-rich feedstuffs. Therefore anaerobic fungi, especially their FAE, should not be neglected in studies on biodegradation of plant cell walls in the Rumen as well as on industrial processes developed to release ferulic acid and p -coumaric acid from agricultural by-products with potential commercial industrial applications, such as precursors of natural vanillin, natural antioxidants, food preservative agents, anti-inflammatory agents and photoprotectants.

2018Co-Authors: Audrey Segura, Pauline Auffret, Delphine Bibbal, Marine Bertoni, Alexandra Durand, Grégory Jubelin, Monique Kérourédan, Hubert Brugère, Yolande Bertin, Evelyne ForanoAbstract:Healthy cattle are the primary reservoir for O157:H7 Shiga toxin-producing E. coli responsible for human food-borne infections. Because farm environment acts as a source of cattle contamination, it is important to better understand the factors controlling the persistence of E. coli O157:H7 outside the bovine gut. The E. coli O157:H7 strain MC2, identified as a persistent strain in French farms, possessed the characteristics required to cause human infections and genetic markers associated with clinical O157:H7 isolates. Therefore, the capacity of E. coli MC2 to survive during its transit through the bovine gastro-intestinal tract (GIT) and to respond to stresses potentially encountered in extra-intestinal environments was analyzed. E. coli MC2 survived in Rumen Fluids, grew in the content of posterior digestive compartments and survived in bovine feces at 15°C predicting a successful transit of the bacteria along the bovine GIT and its persistence outside the bovine intestine. E. coli MC2 possessed the genetic information encoding 14 adherence systems including adhesins with properties related to colonization of the bovine intestine (F9 fimbriae, EhaA and EspP autotransporters, HCP pilus, FdeC adhesin) reflecting the capacity of the bacteria to colonize different segments of the bovine GIT. E. coli MC2 was also a strong biofilm producer when incubated in fecal samples at low temperature and had a greater ability to form biofilms than the bovine commensal E. coli strain BG1. Furthermore, in contrast to BG1, E. coli MC2 responded to temperature stresses by inducing the genes cspA and htrA during its survival in bovine feces at 15°C. E. coli MC2 also activated genes that are part of the GhoT/GhoS, HicA/HicB and EcnB/EcnA toxin/antitoxin systems involved in the response of E. coli to nutrient starvation and chemical stresses. In summary, the large number of colonization factors known to bind to intestinal epithelium and to biotic or abiotic surfaces, the capacity to produce biofilms and to activate stress fitness genes in bovine feces could explain the persistence of E. coli MC2 in the farm environment.
