Multi-Omics Integration Reveals the Impact of Gastrointestinal Microbiota on Feed Efficiency in Tan Sheep by Guohan Sun, Xiaohong Han, Tonggao Liu, Xinrui Zhang, An Shi, Chong Yang, Jinzhong Tao

“…Elucidating the mechanisms by which gastrointestinal microbiota influence the feed conversion ratio (FCR) in ruminants is significantly important for enhancing feed utilization efficiency in these animals. In this study, RT-qPCR, 16S rRNA sequencing, and metabolomic techniques were systematically employed to compare the microbial community structures in the rumen, cecum, and rectum, as well as the differences in rumen metabolites between high- and low-FCR Tan sheep. …”

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

“…ABSTRACT: Given that the majority of energy and protein supplied to cattle arises as a result of ruminal fermentation, the rumen microbiome plays a key role in determining host feed efficiency and methane (CH4) emissions. Some reports suggest that a less diverse rumen microbiome is associated with improved feed efficiency, whereas other studies suggest that microbial diversity does not differ between low- and high-efficiency cattle of the same breed, fed identical diets. …”
