the re-ingestion of caecal content also serves to maintain the ringtail possum's energy balance. ringtail possums gain much of their gross energy from reingestion. the common ringtail possum has a daily maintenance nitrogen requirement (mnr) of 290 mg n/kg. common ringtail possums gain much of their mnr from consuming their nitrogen-rich caecal pellets. they would have to gain 620 mg n/kg otherwise. the ringtail possum recycles 96% of its liver's urea, which is then transferred into the caecum and made into bacterial protein. only re-ingestion makes this effective and the bacterial protein must be digested in the stomach and the amino acids subsequently absorbed in the small intestine. this recycling also allows the possum to conserve water and urinate less. reingestion allows the possum to live on low nitrogen eucalyptus leaves which is particularly important during late lactation.
