Volatolomic analysis applied to farm animals. II. : Volatile compounds emitted from the faeces of cattle

• Volatolomics opens new possibilities for the study of the biological systems. The volatility distribution of highly- and semi-volatile organic compounds released from the faeces of cattle was studied. Samples were collected from farm animals in three regions of Romania, namely Ramnicu Valcea, Bistri.a Nasaud and Constanta. Special procedures for sample collection, storage, transportation and analysis were developed. Organic compounds were found in a broad boiling point range, from n-C-6 (36 degrees C) up to n-C-17 (302 degrees C), but the highest concentration of about 80 % was found in the range of n-C-9-n-C-12 (151-216 degrees C), with a peak at n-C-10 (151-174 degrees C). Only slight variations were observed among the samples collected from different geographical regions.
