Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ruminants play a large part in the provision of adequate nutrition to humans around the world. The health of the ruminant, most especially intestinal health, influences the physiological impact on the animal. Poor rumen health and the effects of gastrointestinal parasites found in the intestinal tract can adversely affect the overall marketability of ruminant food products, including meat and milk. By understanding current research, ruminant health can be improved so that there is no lapse in providing meat and dairy from these valuable animals. The literature will be enhanced through continued documentation of novel and confirmed methods of assuring ruminant intestinal health.
