The protein is first digested in the stomach, where it is broken down by the acid and enzymes.
Then it goes into the small intestine, where enzymes from the pancreas help to break it down further into individual amino acids.
The organs that assist with protein digestion are bold.
The organ that helps a rabbit to digest is stomach.
Your mouth begins digesting starch. Saliva contains enzymes that help digest starch. Then when food enters your small intestine, other enzymes help digest starch. In your large intestine, bacteria help you digest starch.
The organ where food is churned with strong acid and where enzymes digest protein is the stomach. In the stomach, gastric juices, which contain hydrochloric acid and digestive enzymes, break down food into a semi-liquid form called chyme. This process is essential for the digestion of proteins and prepares the food for further digestion and absorption in the intestines.
The gallbladder, which is an accessory organ of the small intestines, makes bile which is secreted into the small intestine and emulsifies (breaks down) fats.

The Stomach
your intestine digests your food
So you have to digest so you can absorb nutrients and protein
Pepsin is the enzyme that will digest protein at pH 1.6. It is the primary enzyme in the stomach responsible for breaking down proteins into smaller peptides. Pepsin functions optimally in the acidic environment of the stomach.
