　　Coprophagy plays an important role in nutrition and ingestion for small-and medium-sized herbivorous mammals.The different nutrient components between soft feces and hard feces and the adverse effect of preventing coprophagy on growth had been observed.Recently,S.Comdes et al.found that the behavior of rabbit pups ingesting does hard feces affected the implantation of cecal bacterial microbiota.However,the effect of coprophagous behavior of re-ingesting soft feces of oneself on mierobiome is still unknown.
