Microbial Metabolism In Ruminants

The ruminant is an expert over non-ruminant in converting fibrous plant material into high quality milk and meat. The co-existence of animal and its microbial ecosystem has resulted in stable and the most favoured natural selection of microbes to perform the fermentation process optimally and transform fibrous feed material into beneficial end products . The book entitled Microbial Metabolism in Ruminants authored by Muneendra Kumar , Vinod Kumar and Raju Kushwaha has been designed to meet the needs of the research scholars , teachers, and scientists involved in ruminant nutrition and microbiology. The text in the book represent an attempt to summarize and consolidate a considerable amount of information relative to the rope of rumen microbes in nutrient metabolism which was not available elsewhere . This book is designed to give a rapid and easy access to the basic as well as recent advancement in ruminant nutrition . Content of this book is helpful in understanding the rumen and its developments , microbial ecology and establishment of microbes in the rumen, microbial metabolism of dietary nutrients, CLA Synthesis and their human health benefits, approaches for maximizing microbial protein synthesis, bypass nutrients technology , enteric methane production , and mitigation strategies, designing of animals product, and benefits of rumen manipulation. Each Section of the book provides a structured approach to learning by covering the topics in a uniform and systematic format.…
