The aim of this invited mini-review is to summarize the rumen transfaunation literature. Rumen transfaunation
using the cud from a healthy donor animal to treat a sick recipient animal was practiced long
before our understanding of rumen microorganisms. Around the mid-1900s, scientists began to explore
the benefits of rumen transfaunation and the associated microbial populations. Rumen transfaunation
has been used clinically to treat indigestion and to enhance the return of normal rumen function following
surgical correction of a left-displaced abomasum. Rumen transfaunation was also used to introduce
unique rumen microorganisms into animals that were exposed to toxic compounds in plants. Rumen
liquor contains chemical constituents that likely contribute to the beneficial effects of re-establishing
a normal reticulo-rumen anaerobic fermentation. Recommendations for collecting rumen fluid, storage
and volumes transferred are discussed. Rumen transfaunation is a common practice to treat indigestion
on dairy and livestock operations. The support of a healthy microbial community in the digestive
tract is also used for humans. Fecal microbiota transplantation has been used to treat digestive disorders
in humans. Rumen transfaunation, although not widely studied with respect to mode of action, is an
effective, practical, and easy method to treat simple indigestion of ruminants.
