Invited review: Application of meta-omics to understand the dynamic nature of the rumen microbiome and how it responds to diet in ruminants
Ruminants are unique among livestock due to their ability to efficiently convert plant cell wall
carbohydrates into meat and milk. This ability is a result of the evolution of an essential …
