The Effects of Starvation on The Ruminal Bacteria Megasphaera Elsdenii and Selenomonas Ruminantium
The ruminal bacteria, Megasphaera elsdenii and Selenomonas ruminantium, were subjected to total organic nutrient starvation after growth in batch and/or continuous culture. Both organisms exhibited a very limited survival capacity in comparison to other bacteria reported in the literature. This …

Regulation of Volatile Fatty Acid Synthesis in Megasphaera Elsdenii and Hexanoic Acid Utilisation by Pseudomonas Putida
… synthesis pathway by the anaerobic bacterium Megasphaera elsdenii and its subsequent utilisation by Pseudomonas strains. The first part of the research described was concerned with the ability of Pseudomonas putida (syn P. oleovorans) to convert hexanoic acid to adipic acid. However, despite a …

The effects of dosing feedlot cattle with Megasphaera elsdenii strain NCIMB 41125 prior to the introduction of a grain-rich diet
… conducted to evaluate the efficacy of [italic]Megasphaera elsdenii[italic] strain NCIMB 41125 and its potential use in the mitigation of ruminal acidosis. In experiment 1, a metabolism study was conducted to evaluate ruminal parameters, quantify changes in ruminal bacterial populations, and …

Investigating the effects of direct-fed microbials on beef cattle during an acidosis challenge
… blank media (NCON), a single strain of Megasphaera elsdenii at a minimum of 108 CFU per dose (DFM1), and a combination of Megasphaera elsdenii and proprietary microbial strains at 1010 CFU per dose (DFM2). Each block was fed for a period of 18 d. All treatments were dosed through the …

The rumen microbial ecosystem during the transition period in dairy cows
… ruminantium were not affected by time (P>0.05). Megasphaera elsdenii and Prevotella bryantii increased significantly postpartum (P<0.001). Conversely, Butyrivibrio proteoclasticus decreased gradually from -14 through 28 days (P<0.001). Fibrobacter succinogenes was affected by time being lowest at …

Using different levels of direct-fed microbials during an acidosis challenge and the effects of distillers grains on feeding behavior in the feedlot
… treatments: blank media (NCON), a low dose of Megasphaera elsdenii at 108 CFU/day and proprietary strain (LME), and a high dose of Megasphaera elsdenii at 109 CFU/day and proprietary strain (HME). A basal diet (45% forage) was fed ad libitum on d 1-7. On d 6-12, all treatments were dosed before …
