Insect growth regulators and in vitro volatile fatty acid production.
Three insect growth regulators were tested for their effects on in vitro volatile fatty acid production. Each material was tested at 100 and 200 ppm of feed in a triplicated trial. At the concentrations used, there was a trend toward lowered acetate:propionate ratios with inconsistent effects on total volatile fatty acid production for all materials. Of the individual acids, only the relative production of valeric was affected significantly.
