Fibrolytic capacity of the gut microbiome in captive African elephants ( Loxodonta africana ): a pilot study

Abstract African elephants (Loxodonta africana) depend on the fibrolytic capacity of their gut microbiome (GMB) to efficiently utilize fibrous plant material. However, knowledge is missing on the temporal stability and functional dynamics (especially fibrolytic capacity) of their GMB. Likewise, information on the associated volatile fatty acids (VFA) production in the elephant’s hindgut is scarce.

Nun heißt es allerdings abwarten: Ob die Paarung erfolgreich war, wird sich erst in ein paar Monaten zeigen. Die Tragzeit schwankt zwischen 97 und 163 Tagen.
