The cecum is an enlarged area of large intestine that makes up about 25%-30% of the large intestine. As food leaves the small intestine it enters the cecum first, this is where the food is fermented to allow for better digestion before passing into the colon. The cecum allows for the breakdown of essential fatty acids and other nutrients which are vital to horses.
