“…The same way, other authors have reported that the production of acetic, propionic, butyric acids, and total VFA was increased by Se supplementation (Hidiroglou and Lessard, 1976;Wang et al, 2009), and by vitamin E or Se/vitamin E supplementation . The increased VFA concentrations with Se supplementation suggest a greater ruminal microbial fermentation rate (Wang et al, 2009). In other studies, ammonium (Naziroglu and Aksakal, 1997) or methane 2.9 C = control, DM = dry matter 1 Se main effect, P < 0.01, 2 grain main effect, P < 0.01, 3 grain main effect, P < 0.05, 4 Se × grain effect, P < 0.01, 5 Se linear effect 50% grain, P < 0.01, 6 Se linear effect 70% grain, P < 0.01, 7 Se quadratic effect 50% grain, P < 0.01, 8 Se quadratic effect 70% grain, P < 0.05 (Liu et al, 2007;Wang et al, 2009).…”
