MOESM1 of Gut colonization by a novel Clostridium species is associated with the onset of epizootic rabbit enteropathy

Additional file 1. Changes in food consumption in ERE and healthy rabbits. Fold change in food consumption (grams of food consumed by a particular rabbit during 24 h divided by grams of food consumed by that rabbit during previous 24 h). Fold changes in food consumption from healthy rabbits during the first 2 weeks post-weaning (blue dots), ERE rabbits before disease onset (green dots) or ERE rabbits the day of ERE onset (pink dots) are shown. The mean for each group ± SEM is also shown. The day of ERE onset is considered as the day in which a fold change lower than 0.5 was detected. All ERE rabbits developed other ERE compatible signs following the drop in food consumption (see “Materials and methods”, Additional file 2). A fold change of 0.5 was used since a few healthy rabbits diminished food intake, but to a lower extent, on specific days, without developing any sign consistent with ERE. Two sided T-test, ****p < 0.0001, ns: not significant. N = 11-21 rabbits per group
