[Morphofunctional development of the rabbits cecum in ontogenesis].
Quick growing capacities of the caecum, bacterial number in its contents, and enzymal activities of caecal microbes were shown in the rabbit of a 20-day age. In addition, 45-day old rabbits reveal that the factors of caecal digestions reach their maximum, and then drop again at 60-day age, when the mass of the caecum in calculation on unit of the alive mass approaches to value typical of adult animal. Final shaping of the caecum functional capacities occurs at three-month age.
