Abstract
The fecal lipids of several ruminants and non-ruminants contained considerable amounts of trans acids (9-18% of the fatty acid fraction). The percentage of trans acids in bacterial and non-bacterial fecal lipids was similar, the bacteria accounting for approximately 30% of the total amounts of these acids. By analogy with the formation of trans acids in the rumen, the origin of these acids in the fecal lipids is attributed to the hydrogenating action of intestinal bacteria.Keywords
