Effects of feeding large amounts of grain on colonic contents and feces in horses. Am. J. Vet. Res. 65(5): 687- 694.Lopes, M.A.F., White II, N.A., Crisman, M.V. and Ward, D.L. (2004) Effects of feeding large amounts of grain on colonic contents and feces in horses. ...
Fiber in the diet both softens the stool and increases the power of colonic contractions, optimizing the activities of the colon. Chemical Digestion Although the glands of the large intestine secrete mucus, they do not secrete digestive enzymes. Therefore, chemical digestion in the large intestine ...
Differences in the profile of the colonic microflora, specifically the relative proportion of folate synthesizing vs. consuming microorganisms, between humans and rats may also be a contributory explanation. In addition, the lower folate content of feces of human milk–fed infants may have been due,...
Lactate in feces of all rats was >30 mmol/kg wet feces as early as d 2 of FOS feeding. We considered this much fecal lactate to be a sign of hyperlactate production in the hindgut. In a previous experiment (2), young pigs with dyspeptic diarrhea excreted feces containing amounts of ...
amounts of vitamins by fermentation. Vitamin K and B vitamins, including biotin, are produced by the colonic bacteria. These vitamins are then absorbed into the blood. When dietary intake of these vitamins is low in an individual, the colon plays a significant role in minimizing vitamin ...
numerous metabolites. Of note, the production of the AA-derived metabolites greatly depends on the amount of undigested polysaccharides in the pig's diet. The effects of these AA-derived bacterial metabolites on the pig colonic epithelium have not yet been largely studied. However, the available ...

Studies were undertaken to determine whether these organisms formed metabolic or geno...
These data from the cannulated pigs provide an explanation also for the absence of any differences in colonic VFA and for inconsistencies which have been noted among some of the studies in humans. In both pigs fed high amylose starch, cecal starch was high at 5 h after feeding. This is als...
