The gastrointestinal tract of cattle harbors a diverse microbial community that has direct or indirect impact on the health, immune status and feed digestion. Dysbiosis of gut microbiota leads to metabolic and chronic diseases along with less milk and meat productivity. Health status and milk, meat productivity can be improved by altering cattle gut microbiome. According to emerging trend of altering gut microbiome, more milk and meat can be produced on less feed.
