Article Synopsis
- Microbial population structures in fecal samples are crucial for gut microbiome research and disease diagnosis, with two main collection methods: fecal loop and litter box.
- A study analyzed fecal samples from 10 cats using both methods, revealing that the fecal loop method had a lower yield of microbial DNA, but no major differences in contamination or microbial diversity between the two.
- The findings suggest that collecting fecal samples from the litter box within 6 hours post-defecation is a reliable and effective method for microbiome studies.
