Four high-starch diets (20%) varying only by the source of starch (wheat = diet W; barley = diet B; maize = diet M; extruded maize = diet EM) were given ad libitum before weaning (at 29 d old) from 18 days of age, to 8 litters (2 litters per diet) of 8 rabbits caged separately from their mother. Starch concentration in the ileal digesta and caecal fermentative characteristics were assessed at weaning and at 50 d of age, while faecal digestibility was measured between 46 and 50 d of age. The energy digestibility coefficient was the highest for the barley based diet while the lowest were observed for wheat and maize based diets (P 10% DM) with the maize based diet, while it decreased for the other groups (less than 6% DM). The faecal digestibility of the glucidic fraction (NNCC) was almost complete (> 92%) and significantly higher with the EM diet followed by the B diet. NNCC digestibility was negatively correlated with ileal starch concentration (r = -0.63, P < 0.001). The fibre and protein digestibility remained unaffected by the dietary treatment, and no sig- nificant correlation was detected between the ileal starch level and fibre digestibility (NDF or ADF). Caecal VFA concentration increased by 11 mmol (+20%) from weaning to 7 weeks of age, while ammonia level decreased by 15%. Compared to weaning, at 7 weeks of age, the butyrate proportions were 5 units higher. The starch source did not significantly affect the caecal traits or fermentations, except for a slight increase in the empty caecal weight for EM and B compared to the W and M diets (P < 0.05). The ileal starch concentration was not correlated with caecal fermentative activity. rabbit / digestion / starch nature / extrusion / caecal fermentation
