abstract = {This study investigated effects of the feed additives nitrate and fumarate alone or in combination on in vitro Volatile Fatty Acid (VFA) production. Rumen fluid was collected from Holstein-Friesian cattle averaging 650 kg in BW (body weight) offered 11.4 kg d-1 per animal of concentrate diet containing equal amounts of soybean meal, whole cottonseed and ground corn once a day with free access to grass hay. The feed additives used were nitrate, fumarate and a nitrate-fumarate combination. Concentrations of VFAs were measured using Gas Chromatography. The results of the study revealed that nitrate decreased (p},
