Temporal changes in total VFA concentration, propionate molar proportion, and ratio of acetate to propionate in goats fed basal diet (corn-soybean meal concentrate and Leymus chinensis) without (○) or with garlic oil infusion (•, 0.8 g/d) via ruminal fistula. Values represent the means from 6 goats for 3-d sample collection. Standard error of mean = 0.529 mmol/L, 0.304 mol/100 mol, and 0.049 for total VFA concentration, propionate molar proportion, and ratio of acetate to propionate, respectively. Total VFA = Acetate+propionate+butyrate.
