The role of the intestinal flora during the digestion

De spijsvertering van een hond begint in de bek. Het speeksel van honden bevat verteringsenzymen en wordt gemengd met het gekauwde voedsel. Daarna belandt het in de slokdarm. Via de slokdarm komt het voedsel terecht in de maag. De maag van een hond heeft een erg hoge zuurgraad waardoor het voedsel al voor een groot deel wordt verwerkt. Na de maag komt het voedsel aan in de dunne darm, waar de meeste voedingsstoffen worden opgenomen. Na de dunne darm belandt het in de dikke darm en endeldarm waar de overgebleven massa tot ontlasting wordt gevormd.

The digestion of a dog starts in the mouth. The saliva contains digestive enzymes and is mixed with the food. Afterward, the food gets into the esophagus. Through the esophagus, the food gets into the stomach. The stomach of a dog contains a high acidity and helps to digest the food for a large part. As soon as the food gets into the small intestine, where most of the nutrients are absorbed. After the small intestine, it ends up in the large intestine and rectum where the remaining mass is formed into feces.
