This review discusses the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in ruminants and the role of monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs) in their transport and absorption along the gastrointestinal tract. SCFAs, primarily acetate, propionate, and butyrate, are crucial energy sources for ruminants, and MCTs facilitate their absorption while also regulating cell pH. The review highlights the importance of understanding SCFA transport mechanisms for improving animal welfare and productivity.
