Effect of Rabbit Gastrointestinal Stasis (RGIS) on the Fecal Eukaryotic (18S rRNA amplicon) Microbiota of Pet Rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus)

This study aimed to describe the effect of rabbit gastrointestinal stasis (RGIS) on the fecal microbiota of pet rabbits. Fecal samples from healthy rabbits and rabbits displaying RGIS were obtained and the symptomology of the rabbits were recorded along with any medical intervention that took place. This is the first published 18S rRNA dataset for the domestic rabbit gastrointestinal tract.
