Comparative aspects of volatile fatty acid production in the rumen and distal fermentation chamber in Svalbard reindeer

Microbial fermentation end products were investigated in Svalbard reindeer at two different locations, on Nordenskioldland (NL) (n=7) and in a marginal area on Nordaustlandet (NA) (n=11), at different seasons. The pH ranged from 6.51-6.70 in rumen contents and from 6.78-7.17 in the distal fermentati...
