Minimum transit time through the alimentary tract of young adult female rats fed a stock diet ad libitum was reduced from 6.6 +/- 0.4 h for sham-operated rats to 5.0 +/- 0.3 h for caecectomized rats, but there was no effect on transit time of digesta along the small intestine. Caecectomy decreased the apparent digestibility of crude protein, soluble carbohydrate, cellulose and hemicellulose. Digestibility of lipid was not affected. However, caecectomized rats did not increase their dry matter intakes to compensate for the reduced digestible energy intakes.
随意采食常规饲料的成年雌性幼鼠，其食物通过消化道的最短转运时间，从假手术组大鼠的6.6±0.4小时降至盲肠切除组大鼠的5.0±0.3小时，但对食糜在小肠中的转运时间没有影响。盲肠切除降低了粗蛋白、可溶性碳水化合物、纤维素和半纤维素的表观消化率。脂肪的消化率未受影响。然而，盲肠切除的大鼠并未增加其干物质摄入量以补偿可消化能量摄入的减少。
