โ Nature & AnimalsWhich digestive efficiency change occurs in ruminants when antimicrobial exposure decreases microbial diversity?
A)Reduced methane production overall
B)Ammonia toxicity due to protein excessโ
C)More efficient cellulose fermentation
D)Increased volatile fatty acid absorption
๐ก Explanation
Antimicrobial exposure lowers competition; proliferation of few species causes inefficient metabolism creating excess ammonia โ resulting in toxicity, via microbial imbalance, because less diverse bacteria can't properly regulate protein, therefore it concentrates, rather than completing digestion with other species.
