Fecal microbiota of dogs supplemented with a probiotic before and after dietary change
The goal is to evaluate the impact of supplementation with a probiotic (Bacillus coagulans GBI-30, 6086) on the fecal microbiota of dogs subjected to a dietary change. Dogs were fed an extruded kibble diet for 28 days, then dogs were abruptly switched to a canned diet and fed for 14 days, with fecal samples collected before and 2, 6, 10, and 14 days after diet change.
