Abstract

Rumen microbiota plays an important role in ruminant digestion. The rumen of calves is in the undeveloped stage, and the microorganisms contained in the rumen will be greatly changed by various factors during weaning, and gradually establish and develop mature rumen microbiota. The establishment of stable and complete microbiota is conducive to the maximization of the potential of later milk production and the utilization rate of feed. Therefore, in-depth discussion on the factors influencing the establishment and development of rumen microbiota during weaning of calves is of great importance to scientific research and practical production. This article reviewed the establishment and development of rumen microbiota of calves during weaning and its influencing factors, so as to provide reference for calf early scientific breeding management, nutrition manipulation and precision breeding during weaning.
