Fecal sample Targeted Locus (Loci)
Fresh fecal samples were collected from ten female dogs with hound bloodlines (6.13 ± 0.17 yr; 22 ± 2.1 kg) fed five test diets containing graded levels of a fermentable fiber, Potato Pulp (0.0, 1.5, 3.0, 4.5, or 6.0% as-is; Roquette Frères, Lestrem, France) in a replicated 5 x 5 Latin square design. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of increasing dietary Potato Pulp concentrations on the fecal microbiome of healthy adult dogs.
