Addition of plant dietary fibre to a raw red meat high protein, high fat diet, alters the faecal bacteriome and organic acid profiles of the domestic cat (Felis catus)
Fig 3
Heat map showing hierarchical clustering of bacterial relative abundances.
Bacterial taxa are shown at the genus level from in the faecal bacteriome of adult domestic shorthair cats fed Kibble, Raw+Fibre and Raw diets. Heat map colours indicate normalized (Z score) relative abundance of each genus scaled across rows. Intensity of magenta colour denotes number of standard deviation above the mean and intensity of blue colour denotes number of standard deviation below the mean. Black circles show relative abundance of each taxa without scale normalization, with size of circle proportional to relative abundance. Colour ribbon at the top of the figure indicates diet; Raw (gold), Kibble (blue), and Raw+Fibre (red).
