The role of Rumen and Intestine’s Microbes in the environmental
resilience of the Xizang sheep and goats: A comprehensive review
Abstract
The Xizang plateau (Tibetan Region) is a world-class biogeographic area
with diverse landscapes, altitudinal bands, and mountainous habitats as
well as a vulnerable home to a diverse range of rare species. The Xizang
sheep and goats can withstand the harsh climate due to the presence of
rumen and intestine microbes. This study focuses on the unique symbiotic
relationship of the host with the bacteria, revealing a complicated
network of microbial communities as well as the crucial functions that
rumen and intestine microorganisms play in the host’s survival.
Important factors such as environment and host genetics which impact the
composition of gut microbiota have been hot topics of research recently
because microbial ecology drives rumen and intestine development. In
this review, the role of omics technology in understanding the mysteries
of the microbiome and addressing environmental challenges is also
discussed in detail. Moreover, the analysis concludes that focusing on
the microorganisms that reside inside ruminants can guide sustainable
practices, and nutrient usage management, and boost resilience in a
variety of ecological contexts. This study comprehensively highlights
the significance of the microbes in the rumen and intestine of the
Xizang sheep and goats in environmental resilience.
