Abstract

The rumen of young ruminants is non-functional with un-complete structure, and its microbiota has not yet been established. Structure and function of rumen undergo great changes in the first few months after birth. Meanwhile, functional rumen is vital to promote performance in adult life. Recent studies have shown that feeding young ruminants with only concentrate feeds reduced rumen fluid pH and caused ruminal papillae clumping and hyperkeratinization. However, supplemented feeding forage early in life can increase rumen fluid pH, stimulate the development of muscular layer of the rumen, and maintain healthiness of the rumen wall. This paper mainly reviewed effects of source, level and particle size of forage on regulating ruminal structure and morphology, microbiota, fermentation parameters and epithelium function of adsorption and transportation, and the potential mechanisms were also reviewed, aiming to provide references for the application of forage in feed of young ruminants.

Key words： young ruminant; forage; rumen; regulation; mechanism
