摘　　要：The large intestinal systems of fowl and swine recover nutrients from ileal indigesta by a strategically different manner.Indigesta with fowl enter a short colon where retro-peristalsis using urine from the urodeum carries small particulates and solutes into both ceca while coarse materials collect in the cloaca.Fowl repetitively add fine and soluble materials into both ceca to continue fermentation until complexity of the remainder exceeds microbial action,then contents apart from faeces are entirely evacuated.Indigesta with swine initially enter a short cecum followed by a lengthy progression through to the rectal ampulla.Wall out-pocketings of circular muscle or haustrae occur throughout the length of the pig's cecum and helicoidal colon.Each pocket carries contents acquired earlier in the cecum.Motility collects fines and solutes into haustrae during their progression through the colon whereas coarse particulates assemble in the core.Haustrae contents continually ferment during movement to the distal colon with resulting volatile fatty acids(VFA)and electrolytes being absorbed.Mucin loosely covers the lumen surface in caeca as well as helicoidal colon that may capture microbes from active intestinal contents as well as release others to sustain fermentation.The microbial community continually modifies to accommodate fibre complexity as encountered.Resistant starches(RS)and simple oligosaccharides rapidly ferment to yield VFA while encouraging butyric acid in the cecum and anterior colon,whereas non-starch polysaccharides(NSP)complexity requires extended durations through the remaining colon that enhance acetic acid.Residual fibre eventually results in undue complexity for fermentation and consolidates at termination of the colon.These compact pellets are placed on core contents to form faeces having a nodular surface.Acetic,propionic,and butyric acids represent the bulk of VFA and are derived from non-digestible carbohydrates.Fibrolytic enzymes,when supplemented to feed,may increase the proportion of oligosac
