Abstract

Ruminants possess a complex ruminal microbial population that enables them to digest plant-based feed through microbial fermentation. Diets rich in legumes can lead to the deposition of saturated fatty acids and may cause rumen acidosis. However, certain factors can mitigate the acidic effects of such diets in the rumen, positively altering the composition of fatty acids. This is one of the significant findings highlighted in this study, along with the breakdown of nutrients into fatty acids and microbial proteins. To explore these dynamics, relevant published articles were reviewed. The mutual dependence between various microorganisms in the rumen fermentation process directly impacts the growth and quality of animal products, making it a crucial area of focus for the food industry.
