Rumen Microbial Adaptation to Dietary Shifts: Mechanisms, Challenges, and Implications for Sustainable Ruminant Production
Abstract: Rumen microbiota play a central role in the digestion and fermentation of dietary components, directly influencing the health and productivity of ruminants. Dietary shifts, such as transitioning from forage-based diets to concentrate-rich diets or incorporating feed additives, induce significant changes in the composition, structure, and functional dynamics of the rumen microbial community. These adaptations, while essential for maintaining microbial homeostasis, can also lead to transient imbalances, including risks of acidosis, …
