Impact of dog sizes on faecal microbial products production. Results from studies in dogs measuring total faecal major short-chain fatty acids (SCFA, i.e. acetate, propionate and butyrate) are presented in (a) and detailed in (b). Similarly, influence of dog size on major branched-chain fatty acids production (BCFA, i.e. isobutyrate, isovalerate and valerate) is shown in (c) and detailed in (d). Effect of dog size on other microbial metabolites are presented in (e) for phenols and indoles and (f) for ammonia. The same caption as used in Fig. 1 was applied
