Goats were slaughtered at seven time points that were selected to reflect the non-rumination (0, 7 and 14\u00a0d), transition (28 and 42\u00a0d) and rumination (56 and 70\u00a0d) phases of rumen development. Total volatile fatty acid (TVFA) concentration (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>=\u00a00\u00b7002), liquid-associated bacterial and archaeal copy numbers (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>&lt;\u00a00\u00b701) were greater for supplemental feeding <jats:italic>v<\/jats:italic>. grazing, while rumen pH (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>&lt;\u00a00\u00b7001), acetate molar proportion (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>=\u00a00\u00b7003) and solid-associated microbial copy numbers (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>&lt;\u00a00\u00b705) were less. Rumen papillae length (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>=\u00a00\u00b7097) and extracellular (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>=\u00a00\u00b7093) and total (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>=\u00a00\u00b7073) protease activity potentials in supplemented goats tended to be greater than those in grazing goats. Furthermore, from 0 to 70\u00a0d, irrespective of the feeding system, rumen weight, rumen wall thickness, rumen papillae length and area, TVFA concentration, xylanase, carboxymethylcellulase activity potentials, and microbial copy numbers increased (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>&lt;\u00a00\u00b701) with age, while the greatest amylase and protease activity potentials occurred at 28\u00a0d. Most anatomic and functional variables evolved progressively from 14 to 42\u00a0d, while microbial colonisation was fastest from birth to 28\u00a0d. These outcomes suggest that the supplemental feeding system is more effective in promoting rumen development than the grazing system; in addition, for both the feeding systems, microbial colonisation in the rumen is achieved at 1 month, functional achievement at 2 months, and anatomic development after 2 months.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0007114514004413","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,2,26]],"date-time":"2015-02-26T05:36:56Z","timestamp":1424929016000},"page":"888-900","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":96,"title":["Rumen
