"Ruminant animals" refers to a group of animals that have a special way of digesting their food. They chew their food, swallow it, and then bring it back up to chew it again. This helps them break down tough plants and get more nutrients from their food.

Natural trans fats are created in the stomachs
of ruminant animals such as cattle, sheep, goats, etc. and make their way into the fat stores of the animals.
CLA is a unique type of healthy fat that's found in the fat from grass - fed meat or dairy in
ruminant animals such as sheep, goats, cows, deer, etc..
However, trans fats are also naturally present in smaller amounts in body or milk fat
from ruminant animals like cows, sheep and goats.
The stomachs of
ruminant animals like cows and lamb produce this fat naturally, but unlike artificial hydrogenated fats, conjugated linoleic acid is very healthy.
A U.S. patent was recently awarded for technology created by researchers at Kansas State University that improves the health and welfare of beef cattle and
other ruminant animals suffering from lameness and following castration, dehorning and other painful but necessary management procedures.
For this work, Frank Sainsbury and colleagues copied the core protein shell of the Bluetongue virus, a pathogen that
affects ruminant animals.
In 2011, the «Schmallenberg virus» gained much attention: also a part of the Bunyavirus family and transmitted by gnats, it caused severe fetal malformations in
ruminant animals including sheep in the German Sauerland region.
Hunter - gatherers hunted
older ruminant animals because they wanted the fat that was built up and stored under their skin.
The fat - soluble vitamins in butterfat from grass -
fed ruminant animals aid mineral absorption and support endocrine function, allowing optimum physical development and lifelong good health.
We care for
various ruminant animals that provide sustenance and income for some people in our area, such as sheep, cattle and more.
Potent greenhouse gases, such as nitrogen oxides produced by denitrifying bacteria in overfertilized Chinese farming lands or methane released by archaea in the millions
of ruminant animals in Australia and New Zealand, may have contributed substantially to global warming.
Recognizing a need for the care of small
ruminant animals such as goats and sheep, we are lucky to have Dr. Morgan Dawkins on board to provide his expertise.
In particular, if focuses on the following areas: reducing methane emissions
from ruminant animals by modification of plant composition; reducing nitrous oxide emissions by making the use of nitrogen more efficient both in terms of going from soil to plant and in the animal; enhancing carbon sequestration through plant breeding; reducing emissions from fertiliser production.
To further educational and scientific progress in the field of small ruminant veterinary practice and to encourage education, training and research in veterinary medicine for the purpose of promotion of good health and productivity of
small ruminant animals.
Ruminant animals like cows and sheep convert K1 into K2 in their stomachs, but humans don't convert K1 to K2 as efficiently.
There are some naturally occurring trans fats
in ruminant animal fats, but these are different than the redheaded stepchildren coming from the hydrogenation process.
One widely cited study from 1995 estimated that
ruminant animals (such as cows, sheep, and deer) can produce between 250 to 500 liters of methane a day because of how their digestive system works.
Ruminant animals (such as cows and sheep) and infant monogastrics (such as baby pigs and chickens) also have nitrate - converting bacteria in their digestive systems.
DHI Cooperative is a certifiedВ BioPRYNВ ® Lab BioPRYN ® (Pregnancy Ruminant Yes / No) is a pregnancy detection procedure in
ruminant animals such as cattle, sheep, and goats.
They merely serve as markers of dairy intake since their sole source is
ruminant animals, such as cows.
Liver from
ruminant animals (cow, lamb and game) is our best food source of vitamin A; pig liver is loaded with vitamin D; liver from poultry contains about half the vitamin A as beef or lamb liver, but may be the best of all the livers with its nice balance of vitamins A, D and K2.
While grass - fed meat from
ruminant animals is certainly a healthy «Paleo food,» it by no means constitutes the majority of a typical Paleo diet.
(6) This is because grain - based diets reduce the pH of the digestive system in
ruminant animals, which inhibits the growth of the bacterium that produces CLA.
So when we talk about cobalt in animal nutrition, we are really talking about vitamin B12, since 3 to 13 percent of the cobalt in the diet of
a ruminant animal is incorporated by rumen microbes into vitamin B12.
A ruminant animal has 4 stomachs; cows, sheep, goats, etc., and as such can digest grass.
The reason why it's able to extract that protein, which is bound to the plant fiber, is because a cow is
a ruminant animal.
Butyric acid is a unique component of the milk fat of
ruminant animals, such as cattle, sheep and goats.
Since poultry does contain more omega 6 than
ruminant animals (cows / sheep / bison) and pork... you might actually be able to be more optimal with a different type of dog.
GOOD trans - fats are formed in
ruminant animals from the FERMENTATION process that goes on in their stomach (s).
The question of whether these marine trans fatty acids have health benefits — as do the natural trans fats found in the fat of
ruminant animals — awaits further research.
They are artificially made from plant oils in a manner similar to hydrogenation, instead of the natural process that happens in
ruminant animals.
However, keep in mind that the quantity of healthy trans fats in the meat and dairy of
ruminant animals is greatly reduced by mass - production methods of farming and their grain and soy heavy diets.
A year and a half ago, I read, «Wheat Belly» by cardiologist Dr. William Davis, who gives scientific evidence that human stomachs were NOT made to digest grains like
ruminant animals.
