Since the TVFA production, growth and metabolic activity of rumen micro organism depend on the electrolyte concentration, a study was undertaken to estimate the level of different electrolytes in the rumen fluid in relation to volatile fatty acid production. will I\}&>)(,\1'anr.4.Ls AND METHODS were fed with rations having the folloen-USVeterinary ScienceVeterinary PhysiologyArticle
