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

“…Although reducing enteric CH4 emissions offers a dual benefit in terms of improved feed efficiency and a reduced environmental footprint, recent findings indicate that these outcomes are not always consistent in ruminants. The composition of the rumen microbiome is mainly determined by diet but is also influenced by host genetics and physiological parameters such as rumen volume, rate of passage, and rumination. …”
