Which outcome occurs when an animal's intestinal transit decreases?

💡 Explanation

Increased microbiome byproduct absorption happens because slower transit time prolongs exposure via passive diffusion, increasing absorption. Therefore, metabolic byproduct absorption increases, rather than decreasing transit time where absorption kinetics limits it.
