Microbes in the rumen ferment carbohydrates into volatile fatty acids which are absorbed through the [[Rumen - Anatomy & Physiology|rumen]] wall into the blood stream. Some of the volatile fatty acids are lost during [[Eructation - Anatomy & Physiology|eructation]].

Volatile fatty acids are the main energy source for ruminants, providing approximately 70% of the total energy requirements. They are used primarily by the microorganisms for reproduction and growth, with the excess production being used by the ruminant itself.
