Abstract The dung microbiome is a complex system that highly influenced by species and diet. This study characterized the bacterial fungal communities of five herbivore inhabiting National Park Zuid‐Kennemerland, Netherlands. selected were rabbit ( Oryctolagus cuniculus L.), cow Bos taurus horse Equus ferus caballus fallow deer Dama dama European bison Bison bonasus L.). We explored effects distinct digestive physiology (ruminants vs. non‐ruminants) diverse dietary preferences on microbial...
Experiments involving food restriction are common practice in metabolic research. Under fasted conditions, mice supplement their diet with cage bedding. We aimed at identifying and microbiota-related parameters affected by the bedding type. exposed housed wooden, cellulose, or corncob beddings to ad libitum feeding, caloric (CR), over-night (ON) fasting. Additionally, two subgroups of ON fast group were kept without any on a metal grid preventing coprophagy. Mice under CR supplemented...
