Rumen DNA virome and its relationship with feed efficiency in dairy cows by Xiaohan Liu, Yifan Tang, Hongyi Chen, Jian-Xin Liu, Hui-Zeng Sun

“…Two pathways were proposed to explain how rumen viruses might modulate FE: (1) Lytic viruses could lyse beneficial host bacteria linked to favorable cattle phenotypes, such as vOTU1836 targeting Ruminococcaceae, resulting in diminished organic acid production and consequently lower FE; (2) AMG-mediated host metabolism modulation, exemplified by GT2 carried by vOTU0897, which may enhance Lachnospiraceae fermentation capacity, increasing organic acid production and thereby improving FE. …”
