Effects of Live Bacillus pumilus SG154 and a Lacticaseibacillus paracasei 327 Postbiotic on Apparent Total Tract Nutrient Digestibility and the Immune Function and Fecal Characteristics, Metabolites, and Microbiota of Healthy Adult Dogs
This study was conducted to determine the effects of live Bacillus pumilus SG-154 and Lacticaseibacillus paracasei 327 postbiotic on dietary nutrient digestibility and the hematology, serum metabolites, fecal characteristics, metabolites, and microbiota, and skin and nasal microbiota of healthy adult dogs. Some fecal and skin microbiota were altered by treatments. Overall, the data demonstrate that the treatments were well-tolerated and did not influence nutrient digestibility or fecal characteristics.
