Members of RumenPredict also played a key role in compiling this review, many thanks to you all!

Well done Ilma !

Looking forward to some excellent collaborations!

A few photos of our speakers from the Microbiology Society Teagasc #MUAFM Microbiomes underpinning Agriculture meeting this week. Everyone is very fascinated with the booklets ;-)

Fantastic RumenPredict 1 year meeting today. Such a great bunch of scientists to work with on ruminant production and methane migigation!

Excellent 1 year consortia meeting today for the RumenPredict FACCE ERA-GAS project. Great progress on prediction of ruminant production and methane traits through microbiome based biomarkers.

Great to hear how all are progressing within RumenPredict, some great work being done by all!

Last weighing done ahead of the feed efficiency test period. Methane measurement period to start next week! RumenPredict

Great PhD thesis opportunity at INRA w/ Evelyne Forano, Milka Popova and Rafael Munoz-Tamayo for a project entitled: System-level understanding of microbe-microbe interactions and fermentation of the rumen microbiota More information at jobs.inra.fr/en/offers/deta…

Many thanks to Thomas Hubert 🐌 from Irish Farmers Journal for interviewing us on the Teagasc and UCD School Ag & Food project RumenPredict funded through FACCE ERA-GAS taking place at Tully ICBF on #methane emissions and the rumen microbiome: farmersjournal.ie/tully-now-clim…

RumenPredict heifers limited to single animal use on the GFs with gates and head boards put up this morning. Group progressing nicely and will begin CH4 test in 2 weeks at ICBF. Next stop #GGAA2019 conference in Brazil! #microbiome #methane #climatechange

Paul Smith telling us about development of standards for rumen microbiome based amplicon sequencing as part of the RumenPredict FACCE ERA-GAS project #GGAA2019

This is an amazing paper, well worth a read, really advances our understanding of host-microbiome interactions

Great work Paul Smith RumenPredict
