Multiomics insights into rumen microbiome and function in grazing lambs: implications for nutrient absorption and grassland sustainability
Our study identified key microbiome and epithelial cell subtypes involved in grass digestion and SCFAs metabolism in the rumen. This novel link between ruminal microbial function, epithelial cell cluster-based genes, and host metabolism provides critical insights into mechanisms underlying the interaction between grass intake and supplementary feeding for optimizing ruminant management strategies in sustainable grazing systems.
