Alternative feed resources and their effects on the quality of meat and milk from small ruminants (2008, result): “The presence of these compounds in plants could modify rumen fermentation (Newbold et al., 2004) and explain the above mentioned results of Decandia et al.”
Plant extracts to manipulate rumen fermentation (2008, background): “bags within the rumen (McEwan et al., 2002b; Newbold et al., 2004).”
Invited review: Essential oils as modifiers of rumen microbial fermentation. (2007, background): “Several studies in situ (Molero et al., 2004; Newbold et al., 2004) observed that BEO inhibited protein degradation, although the changes reported were small and variable depending on the feed being degraded, the type of ration fed to the animals, and the length of the adaptation period.”
Dose–response effects of essential oils on in vitro fermentation activity of the rumen microbial population (2008, background): “Previous studies reported that some EO, or mixtures of EO, can modify rumen N metabolism by reducing degradation of proteins and ammonia production in the rumen (McIntosh et al., 2003; Molero et al., 2004; Newbold et al., 2004).”
A review of plant-derived essential oils in ruminant nutrition and production (2008, methodology): “Newbold et al. (2004) and Benchaar et al. (2007) reported that ruminal protozoa counts were not affected when sheep and dairy cows were fed 110 and 750 mg/day of MEO, respectively.”
