Volatile fatty acid formed after the fermentation of carbs in the rumen.These VFAs absorbed directly from the rumen into blood stream with the help of Rumen papillae. Rumen papillae are the finger like projection in the rumen which helps to increase the surface area for absorption. Types of volatile fatty acids There are three types … Read more
