Major advances in analytical techniques and genomics have
transformed our understanding of rumen microbiology. This
understanding is of critical importance to livestock production
since rumen function affects nutritional efficiency, emissions from
ruminants (such as methane and nitrous oxide) as well as animal
health. This collection reviews what we know about rumen microbiota
and the role of nutritional strategies in optimising their function
for more sustainable livestock production. Part 1 summarises
advances in methods for analysing the rumen microbiome. Part 2
reviews recent research on the role of different types of rumen
microbiota such as bacteria, archaea, anaerobic fungi, viruses and
the rumen wall microbial community. Part 3 discusses the way the
rumen processes nutrients such as fibre and protein as well as
outputs such as energy, lipids and methane emissions. Part 4
explores nutritional strategies to optimise rumen function,
including the role of pasture, silage, cereal feed, plant secondary
compounds and probiotics.
