FECAL MICROBIOLOGY IN PUPPIES SUPPLEMENTED WITH PROBIOTICS RECEIVING DIFFERENT DIETS

The aim of this research is to evaluate supplementation effects of two probiotics to Beagle puppies receiving two diets (high and low quality) over microbiote and faecal pH. They were used 18 Beagle puppies shared in three treatments : 1) treatment 1: control (food); 2) treatment 2: food with probiotic 1 (Bifidobacterium); 3) treatment 3: food with probiotic 2 (Lactobacillus).
