Faecal microbiome alpha diversity in privately owned healthy adult dogs (n = 11) fed a commercial diet with (+PD) or without (−PD) Enterococcus faecium NCIMB 10415 109 CFU/kg for 16 days each, in a crossover study design. Boxplots showing the observed richness (Observed ASV), Chao1 and Shannon index, of the faecal microbiome when the study population was fed a diet manufactured with (+PD) or without (−PD) Enterococcus faecium NCIMB 10415 as compared to baseline diversity at inclusion. Each number on the plot identifies the individual dog across diets.
