In vitro fermentation characteristics of dietary fibers using fecal inocula from dogs fed a canned diet and treated with metronidazole

IntroductionMetronidazole is a potent antibiotic often prescribed to treat gastrointestinal enteropathies; however, it is known to induce loose stools, negatively alter the fecal microbiome, and affect fecal metabolite production. Dietary intervention may aid in post-antibiotic recovery; however, li...
