The same as in humans. Makes food wet and slimy so the food is easier to swallow. Saliva also has enzymes in it. Lipase to begin the breakdown of fats (lipids) and amylase (a sugar busting enzyme) and lastly lyzosome which is a weak antibacterial.

Salivary glands in rats produce and secrete saliva, which helps in the process of digestion. Saliva contains enzymes that begin the breakdown of food, and it also lubricates the food for easier swallowing. Additionally, saliva in rats plays a role in maintaining oral hygiene by preventing infections and keeping the mouth clean.
