Abstract

The development of the rumen in ruminant animals is a complex and dynamic process that involves prenatal and postnatal growth and maturation, as well as ongoing adaptation throughout the animal's life. One of the most significant changes that occur during the development of the ruminant stomach is the enlargement of the rumen. In young ruminants, the rumen is smaller than abomasum and undeveloped, but as the animal begins to consume more solid foods, the rumen expands and becomes more complex. Factors such as diet, nutrition, genetics, age and the microbiome can all influence the development of the rumen. At birth, the rumen organ, rumen epithelium, and rumen microbiota are not fully developed. The most receptive time for rumen development is between the postnatal and weaning periods, during which time the organ and its epithelium grew and the rumen microbiota is established. Overall, the development of the rumen during the postnatal and weaning periods is critical to the health and productivity of the animal.
