The short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) have been analyzed in small intestinal and cecal content of 10 germfree and six conventional mice from a Norwegian laboratory, in cecal content and serum of five germfree rats and two germfree mice from a Swedish laboratory and in Norwegian and Swedish autoclaved, nonpurified rodor diets. The mean total SCFA concentration was 1020 .mu.mol/kg in cecum and 1010 .mu.mol/kg in small intestine of Norwegian germfree mice; 124,600 .mu.mol/kg in cecum and 6,250 .mu.mol/kg in small intestine of conventional mice; 490 .mu.mol/kg in cecum and 370 .mu.mol/L in serum of Swedish rats; 360 .mu.mol/kg in cecum and 290 .mu.mol/L in serum of Swedish mice; 31.4 mmol/kg in Norwegian and 19.5 mmol/kg in Swedish nonpurified diets. Acetic acid accounted for more than 90% of the total concentration in all samples from germfree animals and diet, but detectable concentrations of propionic, isobutyric, n-butyric, isovaleric and n-valeric acids were also present. Thus, germfree animals have low, but measurable, concentrations of SCFAs in intestinal content compared to conventional animals. Most probably these acids originate mainly from the diet.
