SUMMARY
Microorganisms10122345 Ruminant animals constitute a mammalian order that includes some of humankind`s most important livestock species (cattle, sheep, goats and buffalo), as well as numerous wild animal species. From a nutritional standpoint, the variable degradability of cellulose and its oft-underappreciated cousin, hemicellulose, places them between pectins and cell solubles (rapidly and completely degraded) and lignin (indigestible). As a result, cellulose and hemicellulose degradation represent the greatest source of variation in the digestibility and nutritional value of ruminant diets, and thus is a central target for improving animal agriculture. This review will consider . . .
