음식물쓰레기는 함수율과 휘발성 유기물질의 함량이 높기 때문에 수거, 운반 및 매립에 있어 많은 문제점이 야기되고 있다. 음식물쓰레기의 산발효는 pH, 체류시간 등과 같은 환경조건에 의해서 영향을 받는데, 음식물쓰레기의 각 구성성분은 각기 다른 환경조건에서 분해가 진행된다. 전분, 셀룰로우스 및 단백질은 각각 최적의 pH 및 체류시간을 가지고 있어, 전분의 경우는 낮은 pH에서 셀룰로우스는 체류시간이 증가할수록 그리고 단백질은 체류시간의 증가 및 중성 pH에 접근할수록 그 분해가 증가한다. 이러한 사실은 산발효의 환경조건을 조절함으로써 음식물쓰레기의 분해가 향상될 수 있음을 말하여 준다. 산발효 단계에 따라 희석율의 값을 3.0에서 $1.0d^{-1}$로 조절한 경우, 산발효 효율은 71.2%에서 81.1%로 크게 증가하였다. 이때 주된 산발효 산물은 뷰틸산에서 초산으로 점차 변화하였는데, 이것은 산발효의 효율향상이 야채류와 육류의 분해 증가에 기인함을 보여주는 것이다.

Three beef steers fitted with permanent cannulae in the rumen and duodenum were used to determine the effects of protein supply from soyhulls (SH) and wheat bran (WB) on ruminal metabolism, blood metabolites, nitrogen metabolism, nutrient digestion and concentrations of soluble non-ammonia nitrogen (SNAN) in ruminal (RD) and omasal digesta (OD). In a 3${\times}$3 Latin square design, steers were offered rice straw and concentrates formulated either without (control) or with two brans to increase crude protein (CP) level (9 vs. 11% dietary DM for control and bran-based diets, respectively). The brans used were SH and WB that had similar CP contents but different ruminal CP degradability (52 vs. 80% CP for SH and WB, respectively) for evaluating the effects of protein degradability. Ruminal ammonia concentrations were higher for bran diets (p<0.01) than for the control, and for WB (p<0.001) compared to the SH diet. Similarly, microbial nitrogen and blood urea nitrogen were significantly increased (p<0.05) by bran and WB diets, respectively. Retained nitrogen tended (p<0.082) to be increased by SH compared with the WB diet. Intestinal and total tract CP digestion was enhanced by bran diets. In addition, bran diets tended (p<0.085) to increase intestinal starch digestion. Concentrations of SNAN fractions in RD and OD were higher (p<0.05) for bran diets than for the control, and for WB than for the SH diet. More rumendegraded protein supply resulting from a higher level and degradability of CP released from SH and WB enhanced ruminal microbial nitrogen synthesis and ruminal protein degradation. Thus, free amino acids, peptides and soluble proteins from microbial cells as well as degraded dietary protein may have contributed to increased SNAN concentrations in the rumen and, consequently, the omasum. These results indicate that protein supply from SH and WB, having a low level of protein (13 and 16%, respectively), could affect ruminal metabolism and nutrient digestion if inclusion level is relatively high (>20%).
