Description
Mulugeta Walelegne leads a 2026 review of how gut microbes and young farm ruminants, such as calves and lambs, shape each other. Newborn ruminants need fast gut growth and a strong gut lining defense to thrive. The review sums up how genes, early feeding, and microbes interact in the first days of life.
Helpful microbes lengthen the gut's finger-like villi and support barrier and immune growth. A disturbed microbe mix can delay gut closure and push immunity toward inflammation. Feeding choices such as first-milk timing, milk replacers, fiber, and probiotics can shift microbes within days. The authors offer the review as a feeding blueprint for healthier, more productive herds.
