About this listen
Join us to delve into the fascinating science of exhalomics, the study of metabolites and compounds found in exhaled breath. Dr. Mutian Niu, an assistant professor of animal nutrition at ETH Zurich, Switzerland, explains this innovative and non-invasive technology that offers a new way to potentially monitor the digestive activity, environmental impact, and health of dairy cows. Discover how studying exhaled breath can provide a window into rumen fermentation activity, acting as a proxy for rumen volatile fatty acids and predicting changes in rumen pH. Learn about its potential for early warning of conditions like subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA), and its broader applications in pinpointing biomarkers for early detection of diseases such as respiratory disease, ketosis, mastitis, metritis, and displaced abomasum.
