As in the bovine rumen, plant cell walls are degraded in the rabbit caecum by enzymes produced by fibrolytic microbial flora. The caecal microflora contrasts from that of the rumen by absence of protozoa and predominance of Bacteroides species. In therumen, solid-associated bacteria (SAB) represent the most important bacterial population (about 75%) (Legay-Carmier and Bauchart, 1989, Br J Nutr, 61, 725-740), and differentiate from the liquid-associated bacteria (LAB) by both their chemical composition (Merry and Mc Allan, 1983, Br J Nutr, 50, 701-709) and their higher glycolytic activity (Martin et al, 1993, Curr Microbiol, 27, 223-228). In the rabbit caecum, distribution and enzyme activity of the microbial population are not well known.
