Experimental diets and excreta samples were analyzed in triplicate for dry matter (DM, method 930.15;
[16 ]), crude protein (CP, method 990.03;
[16 ]), ash (method 942.05;
[16 ]), calcium, and phosphorus (method 985.01;
[16 ]). Gross energy was measured by a bomb calorimeter (Model 1261, Parr Instrument Co., Moline, IL), and chromium concentrations of experimental diets and excreta samples were determined with an automated spectrophotometer (Jasco V-650, Jasco Corp., Tokyo, Japan) according to the procedure of Fenton and Fenton
[17 (link)]. The ATTD (%) of nutrients was calculated by the following formula:

Where
Nf = nutrient concentration in feces (%)
Nd = nutrient concentration in diet (%)
Cf = chromium concentration in feces (%)
Cd = chromium concentration in diet (%)
The microbiological assay of excreta was carried out by the procedure suggested by Choi et al.
[18 (link)]. The microbial groups enumerated were total anaerobic bacteria (TAB; plate count agar, Difco Laboratories, Detroit, MI, USA), Bifidobacterium spp. (MRS agar), coliforms (violet red bile agar, Difco Laboratories, Detroit, MI, USA), and Clostridium spp. (Tryptose sulphite cycloserine agar, Oxoid, Hampshire, UK). The anaerobic conditions during the TAB and Clostridium spp. assays were created by using the gas-pak anaerobic system (BBL, No. 260678, Difco, Detroit, MI, USA).

Fecal Microbiome Analysis Protocol

To determine microbiology, fecal samples were carried out at the end of each
phase and sealed. The analysis was conducted on the same day of fecal
collection. In those samples, total anaerobic bacteria (TAB, plate count
agar, Difco laboratories, Detriot, MI, USA), Lactobacillusspp. (MRS agar + 0.200 g/L NaN3 + 0.500 g/L L-cystine
hydrochloride monohtdrate) and Clostridium spp. (Tryptose
sulphite cycloserine agar, Oxoid, Hampshire, UK) were analyzed for this
experiment. For microbial groups, anaerobic conditions were generated and
gaspak anaerobic system (BBL, No. 260678, Difco, MI, USA) was used. The
microbial populations were calculated by colony-forming unit (CFU) and
transformed into log10 before statistical analysis.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
