Abstract
The weight gains and rumen microbial activity were not significantly different in steers fed a high wheat straw ration with and without small amounts of valeric and isovaleric acids. This negative result may have been due to lack of digestible carbohydrate in the ration. The appetite was stimulated in the animals receiving the acids.
