abstract = "The ruminant stomach is divided into four chambers, each with specialist functions (Figure 1).

A healthy rumen is one of the most important factors in determining animal health as well as performance, as this is where the animal{\textquoteright}s nutrients come from. A healthy rumen microbial population is dynamic and will adapt to shifts in the diet and the animal{\textquoteright}s physiological status, but sudden changes in diet (e.g. weaning), disease, antibiotic use and stress can negatively affect rumen microbes causing problems for the animal.",
