Abstract
This review analyses the use of molecular techniques in rumen microbial identification. The use of regular methods like
roll tube and most probable number resulted in under estimation of rumen microbial growth. So molecular biology acts as
an advanced tool for rumen microbial culture and identification of various new species. These techniques give complete
descriptions of individual ruminal populations. Use of molecular techniques like PCR, DDGE and FISH, which also pave
pathway for genetic manipulation of rumen microbes in the field of rumen manipulation. So the combination of traditional
and molecular assays gives accurate and satisfactory results.
