title: Fecal microbial communities of healthy adult dogs fed raw meat-based diets with or without inulin or yeast cell wall extracts and an extruded diet as assessed by 454 Pyrosequencing
design: "Fecal samples from canines fed an extruded diet and 6 raw meat diets [1. beef control; 2. beef + 1.4% inulin dry matter basis (DMB); 3. beef + 1.4% yeast cell wall (DMB); 4. chicken control; 5. chicken + 1.4% inulin (DMB); 6. chicken + 1.4% yeast cell wall (DMB)]. Six healthy adult beagle dogs were used in this study, where each dog served as its own control (42 samples obtained in total)."
