Volatile fatty acids in cecal contents were measured, as described previously (Yu et al., 2002; Clarke et al., 2018). Cecal VFA concentration (mg/g) was calculated using the peak area of the VFA and internal standard against the reference curve, and the percentage of individual VFA was calculated accordingly.
