Application and Mechanism of Rumen Microbiota Transplantation in Ruminant Production
The gastrointestinal microorganism of ruminants plays a vital role in its growth and development,and the efficient and stable rumen microflora can ensure the host body's nutrient digestibility and immunity etc.A lot of studies have been done on rumen microbial regulation of ruminants.Rumen microbiota transplantation,as one of the means of rumen microorganism regulation,is to transplant the rumen microorganisms of healthy ruminants into the recipient animals,in order to improve the production performance and health of recipient an-imals.This paper reviews the effects of ruminal microbial transplantation on the growth and development and production performance of ruminants and the possible mechanism based on the methods and application effects of ruminal microbial transplantation,aiming to provide a theoretical basis for further research.[Chinese Jour-nal of Animal Nutrition,2023,35(12):7561-7570]
