About the book
More than 35 years ago, Robert Hungate published The Rumen and Its Microbes. This book forecast the ability anaerobic bacteria to transfer reducing equivalents (a dominant theme in many microbial habitats), and it was read by a much wider audience than the title dictated. Hungate had little formal training in nutrition, animal science or veterinary medicine, but he made surethat the rumen and animal were well described. The Rumen and Its Microbes remained in press for approximately 30 years. In the 1990's, Dr. Hungate stated that he had never contemplated writing a second edition. The book was a "classic," and it did not need a follow up. His only reservation about book was that it needed "a better index."
The Rumen and Its Microbes and the following book have some similarities, but the goals are distinctly different. Hungate summarized the most of research on rumen microbiology, but the field has expanded significantly. In recent years, a variety of edited books have been published, and many of them are referenced herein. Edited books are useful tools for people with a background, but they are generally too advanced for beginning students or people that simply want an overview. Rumen Microbiology and Its Role in Ruminant Nutrition is aimed at this latter audience.
