“…Moreover, cuticular wax can also reduce the absorption of harmful ultraviolet radiation and help regulate temperature by reflecting sunlight . The composition and density of cuticular wax vary widely among plant species, primarily as an adaptive response to their specific environmental conditions . Overall, an increase of leaf cuticular wax, particularly alkanes, has been regarded as a common response of plant to drought .…”

Cuticular wax, a critical defense layer for plants, remains a relatively unexplored factor in rumen fermentation. We investigated the impact of cuticular wax on rumen fermentation using triticale as a model. In total, six wax classes were identified, including fatty acids, aldehydes, alkane, primary alcohol, alkyresorcinol, and β-diketone, with low-bloom lines predominated by 46.05% of primary alcohols and high-bloom lines by 35.64% of β-diketone. Low-wax addition (2.5 g/kg DM) increased the gas production by 19.25% (P < 0.05) and total volatile fatty acids by 6.34% (P > 0.05), and enriched key carbohydrate-fermenting rumen microbes like Saccharofermentans, Ruminococcus, and Prevotellaceae, when compared to non-wax groups. Metabolites linked to nucleotide metabolism, purine metabolism, and protein/fat digestion in the rumen showed a positive correlation with low-wax, benefiting rumen microbes. This study highlights the intricate interplay among cuticular wax, rumen microbiota, fermentation, and metabolomics in forage digestion, providing insights into livestock nutrition and forage utilization.
