Rumen Microbiota: Treponema bryantii is one of the many bacterial species found in the rumen, the largest compartment of the ruminant stomach. In the rumen, it contributes to the microbial ecosystem involved in the digestion of fibrous plant material through fermentation processes. Treponema bryantii is capable of metabolizing complex carbohydrates and cellulose, aiding in the breakdown of plant fibers and the production of volatile fatty acids that serve as energy sources for the host animal.
Fermentation and Nutrient Absorption: As a member of the rumen microbiota, Treponema bryantii plays a role in the fermentation of dietary substrates, including cellulose, hemicellulose, and other plant polysaccharides. By fermenting these substrates, it helps release nutrients and energy from plant material that would otherwise be indigestible to the host animal. This contributes to the overall efficiency of nutrient utilization in ruminants.
Animal Nutrition and Health: The presence of Treponema bryantii and other rumen bacteria is essential for the proper digestion and utilization of dietary fiber in ruminant animals. A balanced and diverse rumen microbiota is crucial for optimal animal nutrition and health, as it allows ruminants to extract nutrients from their diet effectively. Imbalances or disruptions in the rumen microbiota can lead to digestive disorders, reduced feed efficiency, and compromised animal performance.
Potential Role in Methanogenesis: Some studies suggest that certain species of Treponema, including Treponema bryantii, may be involved in methane production (methanogenesis) in the rumen. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas emitted during ruminant digestion and is considered a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture. Research into the microbial ecology of the rumen aims to identify strategies for mitigating methane production without compromising animal health or productivity.

Different labs use different software to read the sample. See this post for more details.
One lab may say you have none, another may say you have a lot! - This may be solely due to the software they are using to estimate.
We deem lab specific values using values from the KM method for each specific lab to be the most reliable.
