[The final stages in the hydrolysis of foodstuffs in the small intestine of mammals with different food specializations].

The activity of the small intestine's enzymes realising final stages of nutrients hydrolysis was studied in herbivorous, omnivorous and carnivorous animals. The small intestine's enzyme spectrum corresponded to the food specialisation of the animals. The proximal-distal gradient of the distribution of digestive enzymes along the small intestine has both some similar features and certain differences.
