Mining the bovine and ovine rumen for anerobically active peptides that can modify the ruminal microbiome

AMPLY has analysed genomes, transcriptomes and metagenomes of a variety of ruminal animals with a view to generating a holistic library of ruminally expressed compounds with potential uses in the production animal space.

Because of our expertise in the rumen microbiome derived from Queen’s University, Belfast and Aberystwyth University, Wales we have access to unique opportunities to extract, tailor and test our compounds in artificial rumen simulations. 

Our lead compounds exhibit extremely low toxicity, a strong anaerobic performance and tailorable kill profiles against rumen and bovine-native bacterial and fungal species as well as the more well-known ESKAPE pathogens.
