Effects of meal frequency on the production of microbial metabolites in gilts. After 12 weeks of treatment, fresh feces were collected from each gilt at 3-h intervals for a 1-day period. The fecal acetate (a), propionate (c), butyrate (e) and total SCFAs (g) production and the area under the curve (AUC) of acetate (b), propionate (d), butyrate (f) and total SCFAs (h) are shown. (n = 12). Labeled means without a common letter differ, P < 0.05. *P < 0.05 (T1 vs. T6); #P < 0.05 (T1 vs. T2)
