Combining host and rumen metagenome profiling for selection in sheep: prediction of methane, feed efficiency, production, and health traits

BACKGROUND: Rumen microbes break down complex dietary carbohydrates into energy sources for the host and are increasingly shown to be a key aspect of animal performance. Host genotypes can be combined with microbial DNA sequencing to predict performance traits or traits related to environmental impa...
