  • Title: [Effect of potato starch on the level of volatile fatty acids and ammonia in sheep's rumen].
    Author: Juśko-Grundboeck J, Skulmowski J, Cakla S, Honory K, Honory D.
    Journal: Pol Arch Weter; 1975; 18(1):97-105. PubMed ID: 241977.
    Abstract:
    Two experiments were performed on adult sheep, which were given intraruminally potato starch in a single dose of 1500 g and in gradually increasing doses. The effect of starch on the level of volatile fatty acids, ammonia and the pH value was studied. In the rumen content, the level of pH slightly decreased and that of volatile fatty acids increased. Ammonia level decreased after starch administration. No lactic acid was found in the rumen content.
