Distribution of prion infectivity in organs and tissues is important in understanding prion disease pathogenesis and designing strategies to prevent prion infection in animals and humans. Transmission of prion disease from cattle to humans resulted in banning human consumption of ruminant nervous system and certain other tissues. In the present study, we surveyed tissue distribution of prion in...

The production of a mixture of acetic, propionic, and butyric acids is a characteristic feature of alimentary fermentation in the ruminant and in the horse, pig, rabbit, and rat. The proportions of these acids present in the digesta of the large intestine, and of the stomach in the case of the ruminant, is similar in these species, with the exception of the rat, in which acids higher than aceti...
