A conceptual approach to the mathematical modelling of microbial functionality in the rumen

Code: 9781786767943
André Bannink, Soumya Kar, Dirkjan Schokker and Jan Dijkstra, Wageningen University and Research, The Netherlands

Chapter synopsis: This chapter discusses the concepts and the approaches taken with the quantification or mathematical modelling of rumen microbiota. The consequences from the perspective of mathematical modelling of microbial functionality at the whole rumen level are discussed as it is thought that models need to cover this level to predict fermentative and digestive aspects of the rumen as an organ.
