Effects of acetate, propionate, and pH on volatile fatty acid thermodynamics in continuous cultures of ruminal contents

ABSTRACT: To investigate the effects of acetate, propionate, and pH on thermodynamics of volatile fatty acids (VFA) in the rumen, a dual-flow continuous culture study was conducted to quantify production of major VFA, interconversions among the VFA, and H2 and CH4 emissions in a 4 × 4 Latin square d...
