Abstract

Feed consumption is the main expense in animal husbandry, and improving feed efficiency is of great significance to enhance livestock benefits. The gut is an important digestive and immune organ of ruminants, and the colonizing flora plays a key role in host digestion, absorption and energy metabolism, and the gut microbiota of ruminants plays an important role in regulating feed efficiency. Therefore, this paper focuses on the characteristics of gut microbiota of cattle and sheep, the control mechanism of feed efficiency and common control methods, in order to provide some scientific data support for related research.
