Wild and Captive Environments Drive the Convergence of Gut Microbiota and Impact Health in Threatened Equids

Abstract excerpt

To explore how the living environment influences the establishment of gut microbiota in different species, as well as the extent to which changes in the living environment caused by captive breeding affect wildlife's gut microbiota and health, we used 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing and shotgun metagenomic sequencing to compare the gut microbiome of two species of threatened equids, the Przewalski's Horse and...
