The effect of different storage times, storage methods, and storage temperatures on the composition and viability of the equine fecal bacterial microbiota transplantation. Raw sequence reads

Fecal microbiota transplantation is increasingly used in equine medicine. Currently there is no standardization for the procedure of fecal transplant material in horses. The clinical use of fecal transplant in horses is therefore extremely variable among clinicians with no data on the viable bacterial content of the administered product. The specific objectives of this study were to assess the effect of different storage times, methods, and temperatures on the viability of a fecal bacterial microbial transplant product
