Hindgut Fermenters Use a Cecum to Contain Fermentative Organisms

Question

Hindgut fermenters use a cecum to contain fermentative organisms.

Hindgut fermenters, such as horses and rabbits, use a cecum to contain fermentative organisms. The cecum is a pouch located at the beginning of the large intestine where bacteria and other microorganisms break down plant material that has not been fully digested in the small intestine.
