Description

 The article analyzes the main mechanisms of digestive physiology in sheep, rumen fermentation, and the influence of diet composition on the utilization of nutrients. During the study, the fermentative activity of the rumen microflora and physiological characteristics such as dry matter digestibility were evaluated based on scientific literature. The results showed that high-fiber diets enhance the activity of cellulolytic microorganisms and increase the efficiency of rumen fermentation. It was also established that changes in diet composition significantly affect the rumen pH environment, nutrient breakdown, and metabolic processes.
