  • Title: [Distribution of volatile fatty acids in digestive tract contents of rabbit. I.--Rabbits fed with lucern and oat (author's transl)].
    Author: Vernay M, Raynaud P.
    Journal: Ann Rech Vet; 1975; 6(4):357-68. PubMed ID: 1231618.
    Abstract:
    The distribution of volatile fatty acids (VFA) in digestive tract contents of Rabbits was studied using gas chromatography. VFA concentration in the posterior zones of the digestive tract were very high and comparable to values for ruminants. The distribution of the three principal VFA was different from that found in polygastric as well as monogastric animals. In Rabbits, butyrate concentration is higher than that of propionate. A selective absorption of butyrate, resembling an active transport, has been shown in the colon.
