Invited review: Interplay of rumen microbiome and the cattle host in modulating feed efficiency and methane emissions by Ajay Badhan, Yue Wang, Stephanie Terry, Robert Gruninger, Le Luo Guan, Tim A. McAllister

“…ABSTRACT: Given that the majority of energy and protein supplied to cattle arises as a result of ruminal fermentation, the rumen microbiome plays a key role in determining host feed efficiency and methane (CH4) emissions. Some reports suggest that a less diverse rumen microbiome is associated with improved feed efficiency, whereas other studies suggest that microbial diversity does not differ between low- and high-efficiency cattle of the same breed, fed identical diets. …”
