Summary: The study of the microbiome related to fermentation in ruminants can help to optimize the conversion of animal protein. However, most species present in the rumen are unculturable , which makes the study of such microorganisms challenging. Advances in scientific knowledge, especially in the areas of molecular biology, biotechnology and bioinformatics, have paved the way to provide deeper genetic information on the rumen microbiome. Within this scenario, metagenomics and metatranscriptomics have been filling some gaps and deepening our knowledge about the microbiome.
