Annotation:
The article presents a comparative analysis of fatty acid profiles in the faeces of aboriginal farm animals — camels of the Trans-Baikal ecotype and the Buryat horses. We have collected thirty-eight animal faecal samples and analyzed the extracted FAs by chromato- mass spectrometry. 39 different fatty acids were found in animal fecal samples. The fatty acid composition is represented by saturated, monounsaturated and one polyunsaturated acids. Along with straight-chain fatty acids we have also found cinnamon and phenylbenzoic acids, characteristic of plants, as well as branched iso- and anteiso-acids, aldehydes, and alcohols, characteristic of bacteria and microscopic fungi, in faecal samples.
Keywords:
