About this Item

nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - This Special Issue Reprint focuses on advancing efficient fiber utilization to drive sustainable and productive modern ruminant farming, presenting twelve peer-reviewed papers addressing key challenges across feed processing, rumen microbiology, dietary formulation, and green farming management. It explores practical strategies to boost fiber degradation. Research on plateau-adapted ruminants like Tibetan sheep and yaks further reveals dynamic host-microbiome responses to dietary changes, providing unique insights for region-specific feeding systems. This Reprint also highlights science-based diet balancing. Fine-tuning ratios of forage fiber and rumen-degradable starch prevents metabolic disorders, sustains steady fermentation, and enhances animal performance. It also summarizes solutions to mitigate anti-nutritional factors in alternative plant protein feeds, enabling safer and more cost-effective diet formulation. Moreover, the Special Issue Reprint delivers viable nutritional strategies to reduce the environmental impacts of ruminant farming. Overall, this Reprint highlights that rumen nutritional balance and integrated management are essential to unlock the potential of fiber utilization. It offers current, field-relevant references for researchers, producers, and policymakers, supporting sustainable ruminant intensification, circular forage resource use, and eco-friendly animal agriculture.
