ABSTRACT The effects of concentrations of volatile fatty acids on an anaerobic, glucose-limited, and pH-controlled growing culture ofSalmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis were studied. Suddenly increasing volatile fatty acids to the concentrations representative of the ceca of 15-day-old broiler chickens caused washout of serovar Enteritidis. In contrast, a sudden increase to the volatile fatty acid concentrations representative of the ceca of younger broiler chickens caused a reduction in the biomass but not washout. Gradually increasing volatile fatty acids caused a gradual decrease in the biomass of serovar Enteritidis. We conclude that the concentrations of volatile fatty acids present in the ceca of broilers with a mature microflora can cause washout of serovar Enteritidis in an in vitro system mimicking cecal ecophysiology.

l(a). Volatile fatty acid (VFA) production (moles/12 hr) by two sheep fed at 2-hourly intervals on a constant ration containing equal parts of wheaten hay and lucerne hay, showed no significant difference between the sheep or between day-time and night-time values. The precision with which production could be measured over a series of 12-hr periods is given. The quantities of VFA produced in the rumen on successive days varied considerably; the extent of this variation was similar to that occurring in the quantities of faeces passed. (b) Production remained much the same whether the sheep were fed at intervals of 1, 2, or 12 hr. (c) The energy of the VFA produced in the rumen was equivalent to about 54% of the digestible energy of the diet. 2. Similar amounts of VFA were produced from two different mixtures of wheaten hay and lucerne hay, and from lucerne hay alone. 3. A modification in the procedure for measuring VFA production was tested and found to be satisfactory. The necessary apparatus could be readily carried on the back of a freely moving sheep.

1. The total capacities of homogenates of bovine liver and rumen epithelium to activate acetate, propionate and butyrate were determined. 2. Activating capacities were assayed by measuring the rate of formation of the corresponding CoA esters. The methods used for determining the concentrations of the CoA esters allowed the CoA esters of acetate, propionate and butyrate to be distinguished. It was thus possible to investigate the effect of the presence of a second volatile fatty acid on the rate at which a given volatile fatty acid was activated. 3. The propionate-activating capacity in rumen epithelium was decreased by about 87% in the presence of butyrate, the acetate-activating capacity in liver was decreased by about 55% in the presence of either propionate or butyrate, and the butyrate-activating capacity in liver was decreased by about 40–50% in the presence of propionate. 4. All three activating capacities in liver appeared to be located in the mitochondrial matrix and membrane. The three activating capacities had similar locations to each other in rumen epithelium as well, although in this case activity was more evenly divided between the mitochondria and the cytoplasm. 5. The relative activating capacities towards the volatile fatty acids in the two tissues, together with the ability of one volatile fatty acid to inhibit the activation of another volatile fatty acid, appear to ensure that butyrate is mainly metabolized in the rumen epithelium and that propionate is metabolized in the liver.

1. The findings presented in two previous papers on the yields of volatile fatty acids, obtained by the action of rumen liquor in the artificial rumen, from fresh grass, dried grass and the water-soluble and water-insoluble separates of the latter, have been amplified by a consideration of the acids similarly obtained from specimens of chemically prepared crude fibre and cellulose, from four of the dried grass specimens.2. The proportions of different volatile fatty acids from grass crude fibre and grass cellulose resemble those obtained from cellulose powder, propionic acid being produced in greatest relative yield.3. A general review of these latter findings, in relation to those already presented, has been given.

The Individual

Sheep were fed on either lucerne chaff, high wheat grain, or high maize grain rations. Analyses were made on digesta from the rumen and large intestines of cannulated and slaughtered animals. The results for the large intestine showed that, when equal quantities of dry matter are given, the composition of the ration can affect the pH, the water content, and the total dry matter of the digesta; diet can also affect the total quantities of volatile fatty acid and ammonia in the organ.The proportions of the individual volatile fatty acids in the caecal fluid were not affected by the different diets fed in this experiment. The data did not suggest any consistent pattern in the pH or in the concentrations of ammonia and volatile fatty acid in the caecal fluid during the 24 hr between feeds.

1. A method of obtaining dialysed samples from the caecum of the conscious rabbit is described.2. Values for total volatile fatty acid content and for molar proportions of individual volatile fatty acids in dialysate samples were in good agreement with those obtained from caecal material.3. The volatile fatty acid level in the caecum throughout the day was determined using two groups of animals, one group fed ad lib. and the other group on a restricted food intake. These results indicated a marked diurnal fluctuation in volatile fatty acid level in the caecum of rabbits fed once/d which was not evident in those fed ad lib.

SummaryThe in sacco, in vitro and in vivo effects of feeding proteins partially coated with calcium soaps of longchain fatty acids were examined.In sacco, 84–90% of whey powder and soya-bean meal coated with calcium salts of fatty acids remained after 20 h incubation in the rumen of sheep. In vitro tests revealed no effects on volatile fatty acid or ammonia production.In vivo sheep balance studies, where soya-bean meal coated with calcium soaps was substituted for soya-bean meal, showed no effects on ammonia or volatile fatty acid production in the rumen due to the calcium soap coated proteins. No changes were observed in digestibilities of dry matter, nitrogen or acid detergent fibre; total fatty acid digestion increased. Nitrogen balance was improved slightly in sheep fed the protected protein.It appears that proteins coated with calcium soaps are not degraded in the rumen and thus energy and non-degradable protein can be supplied to ruminants by this route.

Cannulated cows were allocated to a cross-over design to evaluate the technique for determination of volatile fatty acid (VFA) clearance by infusion of marker solution into intact ruminal digesta, and verify the technique sensibility to the variation in the diet. Animals received diet of forage or forage plus concentrate and infusion of valeric acid and Cr-EDTA solution into intact or evacuated ruminal digesta. The total fractional rate of VFA clearance (FRVFAC) was estimated by the exponential decay of valerate over time. The passage FRVFAC to the omasum was assumed as the decay in ruminal Cr concentration and the absorption FRVFAC was estimated by the difference. The total FRVFAC and absorption did not differ between techniques. The passage FRVFAC, however, was lower when the marker solution was added into the evacuated digesta, probably reflecting the destabilization of the rumen environment during the evacuation and the largest volume of fluid observed in animals with evacuated digesta. In conclusion, the infusion of marker solution into intact digesta with homogenization performed by ruminal motility could be usable for the VFA ruminal clearance determination since it seems to cause lesser disturbance in the ruminal environment.
