Host–Rumen Microbiome Interactions in Ruminants: Linking Microbial Fermentation, Productivity, Methane Mitigation, and Sustainable Performance
The rumen is a complex microbial ecosystem in which anaerobic fermentation determines the availability of energy and protein to ruminant hosts and influences feed efficiency, animal productivity, and environmental emissions. This review integrates current knowledge of host–rumen microbiome interactions with particular...
