TY - T1 - Dietary protein and carbohydrate modify volatile fatty acid (VFA) profile in canine faeces SN - / UR - URN:NBN:fi-fe201804208173; http://hdl.handle.net/10138/14255 T3 - A1 - Huurinainen, Outi A2 - PB - Helsingfors universitet Y1 - 2009 LA - eng AB - Microbiota inhabiting the colon fermentate carbohydrates, proteins and endogenous substrates to volatile fatty acids (VFA) and produce energy for the microbial growth. Because all species of bacteria ferment some component of the digesta and produce various VFAs, alterations in microflora may modify these fermentative end products. Thus, measuring the amount and type of VFA produced gives an instrument which reflects changes in the bacterial microbiota of the intestine. This study set out to ex...
