Supply of branch-chain volatile fatty acids improve fiber digestibility and microbial growth but has a modest influence on production responses Branched-chain volatile fatty acids (BCVFA), which are formed by the degradation ofbranched-chain amino acids, are required growth-promoting factors for some fiberdegrading bacteria. Previous research has indicated that several rumen bacteria requireBCVFA for growth. Additionally, BCVFA […]
