Characteristics of Ruminal Microbial Community: Evolutionary and Ecological Perspectives

2020-12-24

Abstract excerpt

Ruminants perhaps appeared about 50 million years ago (Ma). Five ruminant families had been extinct and about 200 species in 6 ruminant families are living today. The first ruminant family probably was small omnivore without functional ruminal microbiota to digest fiber.
