Summary Introduction
To review:
The way by which ruminant fermentation provides food molecules that can be utilized by the animal host and the ability of the host to utilize the waste products formed by microbial
Introduction:
An anaerobic process that leads to the breakdown of complex organic molecules into their simpler forms by the action of anaerobic microbes is referred to as fermentation. The rumen of the animals also possesses several anaerobic microbes that ferment the ingested food. The colon region of the large intestine of human beings is also referred to as a fermenter.
