Fig. 2From: Dietary probiotics have different effects on the composition of fecal microbiota in farmed raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides) and silver fox (Vulpes vulpes fulva)Nonmetric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) ordination with weighted UniFrac distances of the control and probiotic treatment groups. Solid black squares represent control samples, and solid red circles represent probiotic-treated samples. (a): NMDS plot of raccoon dog control and probiotic groups. (b): NMDS plot of fox control and probiotic groups. Partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) based on a supervised model was used to reveal the variation of microbiota between the control and probiotic groups; red circles represent control samples, blue circles represent probiotic samples. (c): PLS-DA plot of raccoon dog control and probiotic groups. (d) PLS-DA plot of fox control and probiotic groupsBack to article page
