The present study was carried out in order to ascertain a few effects of the products on volatile fatty acids (VFAs) brought about by the continuous injections of cycasin as an alkylating agent in cycas leaves. Administration was made by the following two sorts of method, namely, 1) nasal administration by the inserted catheter, 2) administration by the routed of rumen fistula. The fluctuation of VFAs in the rumen contents were analyzed by gas chromatography; a clinical observation, a blood pictural assessment, a blood biochemical examination and a pathlogico-anatomic reference were carried out, simultaneously. Four adult goats were used in this experiment, and in the execution of respective methods, a combination of the administered goats and the control goats was adopted, respectively
