USE OF ANTIBIOTIC AV290 OR DERIVATIVE TO INCREASE PROPIONATE AND DECREASE ACETATES IN RUMEN ANTIKETOGENIC COMPOSITIONS

摘要

26,750 A method for improving the production of propionic acid and thus increasing the propionate:acetate ratio in the course of the microbiological conversion of cellulose and starch containing feedstuffs to short chain volatile fatty acids in the ruminant animal by the use of antibiotic AV290, antibiotic AV290 sulfate, an antibiotic AV290-syntan complex, an antibiotic AV290-alkyl sulfate complex and/or an antibiotic AV290 alkylated derivative.
