Abstract In this research on fresh human, cattle, swine, and rabbit feces, methanogenic bacteria were found in all samples examined, at the following concentrations per gram dry weight: swine, 108; human, 107; cattle, 106; and rabbit, 104. Anaerobic heterotrophic bacteria were found in the following concentrations per gram dry weight: human, 1011; swine, 1011; cattle, 1011; and rabbit, 1010. The total number of O2-intolerant was higher than that of O2-tolerant bacteria: about 10–100 times for methanogenic and 100–1000 times for anaerobic heterotrophic bacteria.
