  • Summary: The gastrointestinal systems of cattle possess a remarkable capability to convert grass and other plant fibers, which are indigestible by humans, into energy and protein. This capability, however, is not fully operational in neonatal calves. Our research is focused on elucidating the symbiotic microorganisms crucial to bovine digestive system and examining the cellular and molecular processes involved in the development of gastrointestinal tissues. The ultimate goal is to enhance the efficiency of resource conversion in bovines. Additionally, neonatal calves exhibit underdeveloped mucosal immune systems and are susceptible to diseases such as diarrhea. Research into intestinal immune function seeks to support healthy growth, thereby contributing to a sustainable production system by minimizing production losses and environmental impact.
