RMG NETWORK

The Rumen Microbial Genomics Network (RMG) is a forum for researchers who utilise genomics approaches to comprehend enteric methane emissions and the means by which these might be reduced without compromising animal health or productivity. The objective of the RMG 2025 Workshop is to convene experts and participants from diverse fields of rumen microbiota to explore cutting-edge topics and to facilitate knowledge exchange in a collaborative environment. With a focus on interactive discussions, the workshop promises to provide valuable insights and to foster connections among professionals.

The workshop is scheduled to take place at the Oceania Hotel, 82 Bd François Mitterrand, 63000 Clermont-Ferrand on Monday 2nd June 2025.
