Detailed explanation-1: -Acetate is an end product from the fermentation of fibre. Highly fibrous, low energy feeds such as pasture hay lead to microbial populations which produce high ratios of acetate to propionate. Acetate is necessary for the production of milk fat.
Detailed explanation-2: -Volatile fatty acids (VFA), produced by fermentation of organic matter in the rumen, can have a major effect on production and product composition in ruminants.
Detailed explanation-3: -Simple Summary. The rumen is well known as a natural bioreactor for highly efficient degradation of fibers, and rumen microbes play an important role on fiber degradation. Carbohydrates are fermented by a variety of bacteria in the rumen and transformed into volatile fatty acids (VFAs) by the corresponding enzymes.
