Digestive organs, caecal metabolites and fermentation pattern in coypus (Myocastor coypus) and rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus)

Original language description

Six coypus and six rabbits fed the same granulated feed ad libitum were slaughteredm, digestive organs with their contents weighed and digesta samples analyzed. The caecum was the largest digestive organ in both animal species. Its weight averaged 170 gin coypus and 157 g in rabbits (4.1 and 5.5% of the total body weight, respectively). In rabbits, the weight of stomach was greater and that of the small intestine smaller than in coypus (135 and 89 vs 85 and 111 g). Gastric acidity, caecal and colonic dry matter concentration were significantly higher in rabbits. Total volatile fatty acids (VFA) and ammonia concentration in the caecal contents of coypus and rabbits were similar (100.1 and 23.3 ?mol/g in coypus, and 103.7 and 25.5 ?mol/g in rabbits, respectively). Molar percentages of acetate and propionate, however, were significanttly higher and percentage of butyrate lower in caecal VFA of coypus than rabbits (P<0,002). The caecal contents were diluted with buffer and incubated anaer
