Abstract
The research has indicated that ruminants and their gut microbiota both have co-evolved while adapting to their climatic and botanical environments. The microorganisms present inside the rumen of livestock have a profound influence on the conversion of feed into end products, which can impact on both the animal and environment. The present chapter deals with the different types of microbes present inside the rumen of domesticated animals and their activity along with future prospects in the area of rumen microbial ecosystems.
