Shifts in fecal microbiome composition between the high-fiber diet (HFD) and the protein-rich canned diet (CD) groups over time from shotgun sequencing. A Principal Coordinate Analysis (PCoA) of species-level fecal microbiomes from all time points using Jensen-Shannon distance. B The fecal bacterial composition was comparable between the diet groups on d 13 when the dietary regimen started. Microbiome composition shifted in opposite directions along PCoA1 over time between diet groups. C No significant shift was observed along PCoA2 over time. PERMANOVA was used to assess the association between diet and period with the fecal microbiome composition. Kruskal-Wallis test was used to assess association between diets and the top two axes (PCo1, PCo2) followed by Dunn’s post-hoc test to evaluate the difference over time within each dietary group
