| Study Title | GC-FID based metabolomic profiling of rumen samples across different regions in three ruminant species - investigation of short-chain fatty acids |
| Study Type | GC-FID metabolomics |
| Study Summary | This study investigates short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in the rumen of three ruminant species. Rumen contents and rumen fluid were collected from multiple anatomical regions, and SCFA concentrations were quantified using GC-FID. The analysis revealed species-specific fermentation patterns, with roe deer exhibiting elevated acetate levels, sika deer showing increased propionate, and sheep displaying higher concentrations of isobutyrate and isovalerate. |

| Project Title: | Microbiome biogeography and ventral epithelial differences of rumen across different regions in three different ruminant species |
| Project Summary: | Ruminants thrive in diverse ecosystems by leveraging their rumen microbiome to ferment fibrous plants. However, the spatial biogeography of the rumen microbiome and genetic diversity of ventral rumen among the ruminants remain unknown. Here, we present a multi-omics integrating region-resolved microbiome across eleven ruminal sacs, metabolomics, and single-cell RNA sequencing, ATAC-seq, and bulk RNA-seq of ventral epithelium of roe deer, sika deer and sheep. Our results reveal species-specific rumen microbial compositions and metabolic capacities that contribute to differences in short-chain fatty acids and vitamin B production. We uncover functional divergence, genomic specialization and metabolic changes across distinct ruminal sacs microbiome. Single-cell profiling reveals changes of immune responses and structural remodeling in ventral rumen. We demonstrate that vitamin B12 promotes epithelial growth, and four novel genes that enhance stem cell differentiation. Our results highlight variation in microbial ecology and epithelial architecture among three ruminant species, offering insights to improve livestock productivity. |

Sample Preparation:
| Sampleprep ID: | SP004548 |
| Sampleprep Summary: | Rumen content was homogenized and acidified to release short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). Samples were centrifuged, and the supernatant was collected for analysis. Rumen liquid samples were filtered through four layers of cheesecloth, acidified, and centrifuged. All supernatants were transferred into GC vials for GC-FID analysis without further derivatization |

| Chromatography Summary: | Gas chromatography was performed using an Agilent 7890B GC system with a DB-FFAP capillary column. Samples (1 μL) were injected in split mode (20:1), nitrogen was used as the carrier gas, and the oven temperature was programmed from 60°C to 190°C. Detection was performed using a flame ionization detector at 250°C. Agilent DB-FFAP (30m x 0.25mm, 0.25um) |

| MS Comments: | No mass spectrometry was used in this study. Samples were analyzed by GC-FID, and therefore no MS acquisition, MS-based data processing, or feature-assignment procedures were performed. Peak identification and SCFA quantification were carried out using chromatographic software only, and no MS-related workflows were applied.No QC samples were included in this GC-FID SCFA analysis because the assay was performed directly on individual rumen content and rumen fluid samples without pooled biological QC or technical QC injections. All samples were prepared and analyzed under identical experimental conditions. Instrument performance and stability were ensured through routine calibration of the GC-FID system, consistent retention time monitoring, and system suitability checks rather than dedicated QC runs. |
