1. A method for increasing milk production or improving milk compositional characteristics in a ruminant, the method comprising orally administering to a ruminant an effective amount of a ruminant supplement comprising:
a) a purified microbial population that comprises at least one bacterium with a 16S nucleic acid sequence and/or at least one fungus with an ITS nucleic acid sequence, which is at least 97% identical to a nucleic acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 1-60 and 2045-2107; and
b) a carrier suitable for ruminant administration, and
wherein the ruminant administered the effective amount of the ruminant supplement exhibits an increase in milk production or improved milk compositional characteristics, as compared to a ruminant not administered the ruminant supplement.
