| --- | --- |
| Description | This cluster of papers explores various aspects of ruminant nutrition, with a focus on strategies to optimize health, production, and environmental impact. Topics include methane production, microbial communities in the rumen, effects of dietary tannins, rumen fermentation, milk composition, feed efficiency, subacute ruminal acidosis, and fatty acid composition. The research aims to improve the understanding and management of nutritional factors affecting ruminant health and productivity. |
