title: [Effect of the nature of carbohydrates in pig diets on the intestinal absorption of volatile fatty acids].
abstract: The appearance of nutrients (amino nitrogen and reducing sugars) and microbial metabolites (volatile fatty acids, VFA) was measured quantitatively in five pigs. After ingestion of a semi-synthetic diet (RFL) containing 22% lucerne meal (6% crude fibre), the absorption of reducing sugars (RS) in the small intestine was high (97.8%) and that of VFA low (880 +/- mmoles/24 hrs.). Ingestion of a semi-synthetic diet (RLa) containing 22% lactose and 6% purified cellulose led to lower absorption of RS (85.2%) and a higher absorption of VFA (1,180 +/- mmoles/24 hrs).
