Abstract excerpt
Even though dietary fibers are often used as prebiotic supplements in dogs, the effect of individual types of fibers on canine microbiota composition is unknown. The objective of this study was to assess changes in fecal microbiota richness, diversity and taxonomic abundance with 3 different fiber supplements in dogs. These were psyllium husk, resistant starch from banana flour and methylcellulose. They were admin...
