AbstractVolatile fatty acids (VFA) are quantitatively important substrates for dairy cows and other ruminants. It has been a central dogma in the nutritional physiology of ruminants that the ruminal epithelium metabolizes a large fraction of VFA during theirabsorption and consequently a relatively small fraction of VFA is available for peripheral tissues including the mammary gland. New data on splanchnic metabolism of VFA indicate that the ruminal epithelium metabolizes none or small amounts of acetate and propionate absorbed from the rumen. However, the ruminal epithelium has a large fractional uptake of butyrate and valerate during their absorption from the rumen. The liver takes up proportionately 0·9 or more of the absorbed propionate, however multiple factors are involved in regulation of hepatic metabolism and propionate does not determine glucose availability to the cowper se. In light of the quantitative importance of VFA to the dairy cow it is important that future research attempts to bridge the gap between the biology of food degradation/digestion in the gastro-intestinal tract and availability of specific nutrients to the cow which impact intermediary metabolism and nutrient utilizationin productive tissues.

Chain elongation of volatile fatty acids for medium chain fatty acids production (e.g. caproate) is an attractive approach to treat wastewater anaerobically and recover resource simultaneously. Undefined microbial consortia can be tailored to achieve chain elongation process with selective enrichment from anaerobic digestion sludge, which has advantages over pure culture approach for cost-efficient application. Whilst the metabolic pathway of the dominant caproate producer, Clostridium kluyveri, has been annotated, the role of other coexisting abundant microbiomes remained unclear. To this end, an ethanol-acetate fermentation inoculated with fresh digestion sludge at optimal conditions was conducted. Also, physiological study, thermodynamics and 16 S rRNA gene sequencing to elucidate the biological process by linking the system performance and dominant microbiomes were integrated. Results revealed a possible synergistic network in which C. kluyveri and three co-dominant species, Desulfovibrio vulgaris, Fusobacterium varium and Acetoanaerobium sticklandii coexisted. D. vulgaris and A. sticklandii (F. varium) were likely to boost the carboxylates chain elongation by stimulating ethanol oxidation and butyrate production through a syntrophic partnership with hydrogen (H2) serving as an electron messenger. This study unveils a synergistic microbial network to boost caproate production in mixed culture carboxylates chain elongation.

ООО «БИОТРОФ», Санкт-Петербург Аннотация: Приведены данные исследования методом газожидкостной хроматомасс-спектрометрии метаболитов, синтезируемых пробиотическими бактериями, входящими в состав кормовой добавки «Профорт®». Проведен опыт в условиях интенсивного промышленного птицеводства по применению кормовой добавки «Профорт®» (50 тыс. голов бройлеров в группе). Среди метаболитов пробиотических штаммов Enterococcus sp. и Bacillus sp. обнаружены такие полезные вещества, как молочная кислота, уксусная, пропионовая и другие короткоцепочечные (летучие) жирные кислоты, активные пептиды. Результаты зоотехнического опыта показали, что при скармливании бройлерам пробиотика «Профорт®» (500 г/т) живая масса при убое в 40 дней была выше контроля на 6,9%, конверсия корма улучшилась на 3,0%, а европейский индекс продуктивности бройлеров - на 5,69%.
