The slaughterhouse is considered an important control point for the monitoring of rabbit diseases. In our study, 59,440 rabbit carcasses were examined, but only 1% of pathological lesions were recorded at post-mortem inspection. Mainly tegumentary, digestive and urinary systems were affected. The most consistent lesion was the subcutaneous abscess; nephritis, probably caused by Encephalitozoon cuniculi, was also frequent. A pathological alteration of the liver, classified as “necrotizing hepatitis”, localized at the caudate lobe, was observed and here firstly described.

Abstract
The slaughterhouse is considered an important control point for the monitoring of rabbit diseases. In our study, 59,440 rabbit carcasses were examined, but only 1% of pathological lesions were recorded at post-mortem inspection. Mainly tegumentary, digestive and urinary systems were affected. The most consistent lesion was the subcutaneous abscess; nephritis, probably caused by Encephalitozoon cuniculi, was also frequent. A pathological alteration of the liver, classified as “necrotizing hepatitis”, localized at the caudate lobe, was observed and here firstly described.
