| Περίληψη: | The digestive system of the rabbit is characterized by the relative importance of the caecum and colon when compared with other
species (Portsmouth, 1977). As a consequence,
the microbial activity of the caecum is of great
importance for the processes of digestion and
nutrient utilization, but also in the control of
digestive pathologies. Furthermore, caecotrophy, the behaviour of ingestion of soft faeces
of caecal origin, makes microbial digestion in
the caecum more important for the overall utilization of nutrients by the rabbit. Additionally,
the rabbit has developed a strategy of high
feed intake (65–80 g kg
−1
body weight (BW) )
and a rapid transit of feed through the digestive system to meet nutritional requirements.
To reach its full functional capacity, the
digestive system of the growing rabbit must
go through a period of adaptation from milkbase feeding to the sole dependence on solid
feed. |
