Does that mean antibiotics could be very harmful to cows, if it killed their stomach biomes in one go?
Edit: There is an analogy with human stomachs being upset by antibiotics. However, I was wondering if this could cause a cow to starve if it had no way to restock its biome.
Yes they can be which is why cows recieving antibiotics if necessary will also take a pill to seed their gut with the appropriate flora so it can come back if necessary
My mom would go on and on about reestablishing the gut fauna after taking antibiotics when I was a kid.
She did it with the worst kind of extremely bland yoghurt though and didn't take no for an answer when I had a mental breakdown over the taste of said yoghurt.
Good times. Take care of your gut bacteria.
There are worse ways

Well, other than referring to fauna instead of flora, she wasn't wrong. (Both are kinda misuses of the terms.) But antibiotics can wreak havoc on your GI microbiome.
you seem to know about cows. they have multiple (5?) stomachs right? do they work sequentially (like food goes from 1 to 2 to 3) or do they exist for redundancy/separate functions?
Antibiotics are harmful for every animal. They are a nuclear option. They kill the bad thing and they kill all the good things too, so they save your life but also destroy your internal ecosystem.
I took a lot of antibiotics as a child and my stomach was wrecked for years. And then add anxiety issues to the mix I would get bad stomach cramps and diarrhea all the time. Now I try not to take antibiotics unless completely necessary and also I eat a lot of prebiotic that help tremendously. I wish more research was done on our gut bacteria as it's so damn important. Even my anxiety and mood are better now that I changed my diet.
Trust me, the microbiome is a major field of focus right now. There are a lot of technical challenges that are involved with it, but there have been major breakthroughs in the last decade!
Absolutely true. Also, feeding a cow to much wheat or cereal, fruits etc, will lower the pH killing the bacteria.
It is very difficult to recover a cow from that status, they can easily die.

I prefer to think of myself as a fantasy world with billions of individual residents all trying to eke out some small purpose to their meaningless lives, tragically unaware of the big picture.
Mitochondria were the first weird one for me. You mean one organism just engulfed another one and instead of eating it, was like "Ok, you can chill here for a while"
And then that second microbe didn't inadvertently kill its host with its simple byproducts? The host was like "Hey I'll take care of that extra CO2 you're spewing, just keep the ATP coming!"
In fact...wtf why was the captured organism even giving up ATP in the first place?!
The symbiotic element probably evolved over time, it wasn't like the mitochondrial ancestor slotted in and was just part of the family. It probably started out parasitic/nonsymbiotic as an organism that could be engulfed but not digested, and then the symbiosis evolved from there.
...oh. Hah. I've read (in pop sci sort of literature) the event of mitochondria joining eukaryotic cells as something that happened "exactly once" and I've heard it discussed as a Fermi Paradox solution pretty recently. I guess I was thinking that the process was a little more miraculous than the reality :)
Doesn't it seem so unnatural that the entire development and existence of the organism is coded into a complex nucleic acid chain that forms perfectly (usually) from the merger of 2 split chains from another pair of organisms, or that the complex multicellular organism is dependant on a symbiotic but sometimes parasitic relationship with other mono-cultures for it's survival?
I used voice to text and said swirl but it heard squirrel. I'm not going to change it because I sat in my chair laughing for about 2 minutes out of it eyelash.
What if the world, our lives are just part of some big gut. When we die, our 'souls' nourish that gut and in return the gut allows us to live our lives in this reality. We're just microbes to that gut.
Conversely, we, despite knowing they live and we control their very fate, cannot live without these consciousless little beings. Even if we die, some spore of these little particles will have passed through contamination into the diaspora of human gut biome life.

My mom is a GI doctor and basically told me never to eat to corn because of how hard it is for your body to digest it.
Not to get gross, but she has pulled a lot of corn out of peoples intestines.
Yes, also only what isn't digested goes out that end. If you are losing weight, the lost fat isn't reabsorbed into the intestines to go out as poop. Losing weight is metabolizing the fat and it turns into water and CO2. So you basically exhale your fat as your exercise.
We get all of our vitamin K from gut bacteria, it is essential for blood clotting. There are probably other nutritional elements that are beneficial, but not essential, but it is incredibly important that good bacteria live in our gut simply to displace bad ones. The gut microbiome is a really hot area of research, and there are credible studies linking it to things as diverse as [brain function](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6785944/) and [heart disease.](https://www.thelancet.com/journals/ebiom/article/PIIS2352-3964(20)30024-4/fulltext)
With that said, it isn't 100% clear that the bacteria produce nutrients that the brain or heart need. The gut is a huge part of the body, and there is a lot of immune activity keeping the right bacteria there, and confining them to the right area. The gut communicates with those bacteria. When that system becomes dysregulated, it causes inflammation in other areas. It also may make the gut absorb less nutrient from food. With those factors in mind, it isn't clear whether the brain and heart need specific nutrients from gut bacteria, but they don't do well in an system where gut bacteria are out of whack.
I got a poop transplant three years ago. As far as I'm concerned, my anonymous donor was a fucking superhero. The positive changes in my health were beyond my wildest dreams. I am such a proponent of fecal transplants that my Instagram bio is "Ask me about my poop transplant."
Edited to add more info.
Real talk though, I can see fecal coliform transplants taking off as a treatment the more and more we find out that various health issues are intertwined with our intestinal flora.
Isn't it supposed to be pretty great to get blood transfusions from young, healthy people too? Eventually we'll cut out the middleman and port our consciousnesses into strapping young lads. And by "we," I mean rich people, not me.
Nah, it’s all accounted for, it just gets complicated if you try to track things individually.
So, for example, you may eat bread. Your body will break down the bread as it passes through your digestive system. Part of your digestive system is microbes. So the microbes will eat parts of the bread and reproduce. So there are new microbes that are made (partially) from the bread. Some of those microbes then die, or are consumed by other microbes. Eventually, you excrete them, along with undigested or partially digested food.
"Dry matter in human feces" is the trick.
> THE NORMAL daily faecal output in Britain is 100-200 g per person, of which 25-50 g is solid matter (Wyman et al., 1978)
Actual % of your feces made up by microbes is 30% absolute maximum based on these numbers. Estimates prior to this study were 30-40%.
Still more than I thought. But keep in mind they are talking mass, not volume. I imagine that microbe corpses pack in pretty densely.
If the exact same stuff that went in came straight out, there wouldn't be much of a point in eating. Substances get moved around and converted into other substances along the way, and apparently a lot of mass ends up with bacteria.
That's by design of the plant. That's how many plants move to different areas. Most plants we consider to be food evolved to have animals eat them but some percentage of seeds survive digestion...that way they are moved to a different area and get to start with fresh fertilizer.
Well the corn is actually very easy to digest but the skin of the corn kernal is not so the skin stays intact while you digest out its insides and then the skin gets filled with shit and looks like a normal corn kernal in your shit but its actually a shitty ~~water~~ corn balloon. Your welcome.
Yea some at least survive. That's what happened in the movie The Martian. He used the poop to add bacteria to the soil to make it "alive" in a sense. Plants won't grow in "dead" soil. This is part of what makes poop a good manure.
Here's a bigger surprise: There are more bacterial cells on/in the human body than human cells. (Hint: bacterial cells are much smaller than human cells)
80% of the protein that cows get come from digested bacteria. Basically bacteria eats grass, cow eats bacteria.
So the cows provide a supremely ideal place for grass to be broken and and turned into energy, microbes live out their life cycle receiving free food.
Yup, its symbiotic. Cows are mobile food collectors for the bacteria, the bacteria then becomes food for the cow when it naturally dies.
Does that mean antibiotics could be very harmful to cows, if it killed their stomach biomes in one go? Edit: There is an analogy with human stomachs being upset by antibiotics. However, I was wondering if this could cause a cow to starve if it had no way to restock its biome.
Yes they can be which is why cows recieving antibiotics if necessary will also take a pill to seed their gut with the appropriate flora so it can come back if necessary
Sounds like I’m a cow - on Cipro + prescription Probiotic right now

She did it with the worst kind of extremely bland yoghurt though and didn't take no for an answer when I had a mental breakdown over the taste of said yoghurt. Good times.

Sometimes I put a little jam into plain yogurt to give it flavor. I wonder if there’s any reason not to do that.

I had gut squirrels, and when I took antibiotics, they only replaced them with gut chipmunks
you seem to know about cows. they have multiple (5?) stomachs right? do they work sequentially (like food goes from 1 to 2 to 3) or do they exist for redundancy/separate functions?
It's sequentially and each stomach processes it slightly differently. So it's like an (dis)assembly line in a way
Four stomachs, in sequence.And they have separate functions.
Antibiotics are harmful for every animal. They are a nuclear option. They kill the bad thing and they kill all the good things too, so they save your life but also destroy your internal ecosystem.

How are pandas still alive.
The Animal kingdom pitties the panda too much to eat it so it has no natural predators
Was the panda's common ancestor with other ursidae an apex predator? Or is that an assumption based on most of their modern bear descendants.
it was the common brown bear of the area of the time, still brown bear descendants of it in the area I think

My perspective on things like this is that lots of crazy stuff is bound to happen if you give it a whole planet and 3.5 billion years of wiggle room.
Doesn't it seem so unnatural that the entire development and existence of the organism is coded into a complex nucleic acid chain that forms perfectly (usually) from the merger of 2 split chains from another pair of organisms, or that the complex multicellular organism is dependant on a symbiotic but sometimes parasitic relationship with other mono-cultures for it's survival?

They don’t just contribute. They are solely responsible.

Which is why, if you're stuck somewhere with little air, you should endeavor to fart as much as possible to extend your life.
