In a series of three 17 d replicate trials, a total of 36 ileal cannulated pigs were used to determine the effects of volatile fatty acid (VFA)inclusion in drinking water on ileal microflora, hemolytic Escherichia coli, VFA concentrations, pH, dry matter (DM), and pig performance. All pigs were weaned at 21 d-of-age and assigned to one of three treatments including: Tl)ad libitimi access to water, T2)ad libitum access to water containing acetate(50mM), propionate(5mM), and butyrate (3mM), and T3)ad libitum access to water containing acetate(25mM), propionate(2.5mM), and butyrate(1.5mM). Individual water intake was measured daily and feed intake was measured twice weekly. All pigs were individually caged in an environmentally controlled room with ad libitiam access to a phase starter diet. Ileal samples were collected at 21, 24, 28, 31, 35, and 38 d-ofage. At 38 d-of-age, pigs were sacrificed and contents were collected from the stomach, duodenum, ileum, cecum, and spiral colon. Digesta were analyzed for total E. coli, streptococci, lactobacilli, VFA, pH, and DM. Neither water nor feed intake differed between treatments and no differences were observed in microflora concentrations
