Effects of fecal microbiota transplantation on clinical outcomes and fecal microbiota of foals with diarrhea.

Background: Diarrhea in foals can be associated with disruption of the intestinal microbiota (dysbiosis). Effective management of intestinal dysbiosis in foals has not been demonstrated.

Hypothesis/objectives: Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) in foals with diarrhea influences the intestinal microbiota and improves clinical and clinicopathological outcomes.
