Journal Article
BELZECKI, G., MCEWAN, N.R., KOWALIK, B., MICHALOWSKI, T. and MILTKO, R. 2017. Effect of Entodinium caudatum on starch intake and glycogen formation by Eudiplodinium maggii in the rumen and reticulum. European journal of protistology [online], 57, pages 38-49. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejop.2016.09.007

This study aimed to quantify the engulfed starch and reserve α-glucans (glycogen) in the cells of the ciliates Eudiplodinium maggii, as well the α-glucans in defaunated and selectively faunated sheep. The content of starch inside the cell of ciliates... Read More about Effect of Entodinium caudatum on starch intake and glycogen formation by Eudiplodinium maggii in the rumen and reticulum..

Journal Article
EDMUNDS, J.L., WORGAN, H.J., DOUGAL, K., GIRDWOOD, S.E., DOUGLAS, J.-L. and MCEWAN, N.R. 2016. In vitro analysis of the effect of supplementation with activated charcoal on the equine hindgut. Journal of equine science [online], 27(2), pages 49-55. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1294/jes.27.49

The present study uses in vitro analytical techniques to investigate the effect of activated charcoal on the microbial community of the equine hindgut and the metabolites they produce. Incubations were performed in Wheaton bottles using a 50 ml incub... Read More about In vitro analysis of the effect of supplementation with activated charcoal on the equine hindgut..

Journal Article
DOUGLAS, J.-L., WORGAN, H.J., EASTON, G.L., PORET, L., WOLF, B.T., EDWARDS, A., DAVIES, E., ROSS, D. and MCEWAN, N.R. 2016. Microbial diversity in the digestive tract of two different breeds of sheep. Journal of applied microbiology [online], 120(5), pages 1382-1389. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1111/jam.13060

Aims: This work aims to determine the factors which play a role in establishing the microbial population throughout the digestive tract in ruminants and is necessary to enhance our understanding of microbial establishment and activity. Methods and Re... Read More about Microbial diversity in the digestive tract of two different breeds of sheep..
