Review: Shifts of rumen microbiota by feeding non-fibrous carbohydrates to improve cattle performance

Souza JM, Ribeiro PHC, Millen DD 2026 Frontiers in microbiology

Abstract

Ruminants play an essential role in food production due to their ability to utilize forages through fermentation in the rumen. This fermentative chamber hosts a diverse microbial community capable of degrading fiber and non-fiber carbohydrates, producing short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and microbial protein, which are…
