Microbes in the rumen ferment carbohydrates into volatile fatty acids which are absorbed through the [[Rumen - Anatomy & Physiology|rumen]] wall into the blood stream. Some of the volatile fatty acids are lost during [[Eructation - Anatomy & Physiology|eructation]].

Volatile fatty acids are the main energy source for ruminants, providing approximately 70% of the total energy requirements. They are used primarily by the microorganisms for reproduction and growth, with the excess production being used by the ruminant itself.

12-18% of VFAs produced is propanoic acid. It predominates on a high concentrate diet and provides energy via the conversion of blood glucose in the [[Liver - Anatomy & Physiology|liver]]. It is used in lactose (milk sugar) synthesis. The molecular formula is, '''CH3.CH2.COOH'''.

18-20% of VFAs produced is butyric acid. It provides energy to the [[Rumen - Anatomy & Physiology|rumen]] wall and is used in milk fat synthesis and for body fat, when excess energy is present in the diet. It doesn't vary in proportion to other volatile fatty acids, therefore has little influence in milk fat content. The molecular formula is, '''CH3.CH2.CH2.COOH'''.
