Abstract

The rumen contains a complex ecosystemwhere billions of bacteria, archaea, protozoa and fungi reside. This diverse microbiota is well adapted to live in the rumen and play an important role in the digestion of feed and nutrient supply to the host in the form of microbial protein and volatile fatty acids. It is estimated that the rumen microbial population consists of about 10 ⁶ protozoa/ml, 10³-10⁷ fungi/ml, 10 ¹⁰ bacteria/ml, and 10⁹ methanogens/ml [11]. To better understand the complex relationships in the rumen, it is necessary to gain an insight into the diversity of the rumen microbes and how the quantity and composition of rumen micro-organisms are altered by a number of different host factors such as age, genetics and diet.
