Abstract
The addition of dehydrated apple to the diet of the rabbit gives results similar to those obtained by other workers using fruit. The animals receiving apple had an increased hydrogen-ion concentration in the intestinal contents. The intestinal flora was changed from one in which Esch. coli predominated to one ir. which the acidophilic type of organism was dominant. Furthermore, the number of gas-producing organisms was considerably reduced. The addition of apple to the diet of both rabbits and rats for a period of 42 days did not alter the cellulose splitting flora of either of these groups.
