Keywords: diet; early life; feed additive; feed efficiency (FE); health; methane; rumen protozoa; rumen microbiome EN diet early life feed additive feed efficiency (FE) health methane rumen protozoa rumen microbiome N.PAG N.PAG 7 01/13/21 20210111 NES 210111 Historically, the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) was considered an organ solely equipped for the digestion and absorption of nutrients. Moreover, rumen fatty acid biohydrogenation by rumen microbes leads to more saturated fat in ruminants' milk and meat in comparison to monogastric animals. As a result, once any nutritional intervention ceases, the rumen microbiota and its function return to the original state making it difficult to permanently modify a fully mature rumen microbiome in adult animals. Rumen Protozoa Rumen protozoa are inhabitants but not essential denizens in the rumen ecosystem as their elimination from the rumen has been proposed as a strategy to increase the nutrient flow to the small intestine and to decrease rumen ammonia production and methanogenesis (Newbold et al., [15]).
