摘要:
The total urea release, measured in the different secretions of the digestive tract of the rabbit, is estimated to be 22 mmol/day, which represents half of the urea produced by the nitrogen catabolism of the animal. This quantity represents a significant source of nitrogen for symbiotic bacteria and, due to coprophagy, could be recycled in the bacterial proteins digested by the rabbit.
