Shifts in predicted gut microbial functions between the high-fiber diet (HFD) and the protein-rich canned diet (CD) groups over time. A Principal Coordinate Analysis (PCoA) of KO using Jensen-Shannon distance shows that KO terms were comparable between the diet groups on d 13 when the dietary regimen started. No significant shift was observed along PCoA1. B KO terms shifted in opposite directions along PCoA2 over time between diet groups. A Kruskal-Wallis test was used to assess association between diets and the top two PCoA axes followed by Dunn’s post-hoc test to evaluate the difference between groups. Heatmaps show differences in relative abundance of KO terms between d 13 (red) and d 27 (green) in the HFD group (C) and the CD group (D)
