2019 Archives of Animal & Poultry Sciences  
The rumen is a highly complex and dynamic ecosystem where, the microbiome displays symbiotic interactions and provides energy to ruminants through breakdown of plant fibers. The current study hypothesized that; microbiome deciphers niche specialization for nutrient utilization and engineers the rumen ecosystem comprehensively. It has raised the interest in fundamental understanding of the rumen microbiome to develop novel approaches for improving the livestock production. Present mini-review
