Volatile basic nitrogen measurement in digesta using a Berthelot reaction in automated Skalar instrumentation

The undigested nitrogenous fraction entering the hindgut of chickens is further metabolized by microbiota present producing volatile basic metabolites including amines and ammonia (NH3). Ammonia increases pH and may result in overgrowth of Clostridium perfringens further producing toxic metabolites...
