Funded Activity Summary

HoliCOW - A holobiont strategy to uncover the core microbiome in cows. Human population growth is driving a rise in cattle production for food, which necessitates sustainable practices that simultaneously optimise animal nutrition while reducing methane emissions, a critical greenhouse gas. This project aims to unravel and exploit biological connections across the cow holobiont, which pertains to the feed cows eat, their bodily function and the microbes in their rumen. This project will leverage multi-layered molecular data derived from the cow holobiont to identify, characterise and ultimately control the core rumen microbiome that causes methane production in animals. The outcome will be new knowledge to facilitate microbiome-based interventions that benefit animal production and reduce its carbon footprint.
