Abstract
The studies were carried out on 48 California White rabbits aged 10–12 weeks. Colon and caecal contents were obtained from animals immediately after slaughtering. The incubations were performed in special type of vessels. Sodium formate were additioned into colon and caecal samples. Sodium formate caused the increase of fermentation parameters of colon and caecal contents. The concentration of ATP in colon and caecal contents with additioned sodium formate increased about 32% and 63% respectively compare with blank incubation without sodium formate. Sodium formate caused the increase of concentration of glucose about 0,5 mmoles in caecal contents and decrease of concentration of glucose about 0,575 mmoles in colon content. The investigation of the studies confirm useful of sodium formate in fermentation of colon and caecal content of rabbits.
