Abstract
ABSTRACT The fox (Vulpes vulpes fulva) and raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides) are important farmed fur animals, but information on their intestinal microbiota is not known. In this study, the fecal microbiota of the fox and raccoon dog were thus analyzed. Total DNA was extracted from fecal samples, and the v4 16S rRNA gene amplicons were characterized on an Illumina MiSeq platform. A total of 1433 operational taxonomical units (OTUs) belonging to 18 bacterial phyla were identified. The most predominant phyla, Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes, Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria, were identified as the core microbiota, which was consistent with findings from other canids, such as the dog, wolf and dhole. Prevotella and Megasphaera were the major genera in both fox and raccoon dog. Even though the composition and ratio of genera varied between these two canids, their fecal microbial communities were similar to each other.
期刊介绍：
Acta Agriculturæ Scandinavica, Section A – Animal Science publishes results of original research in animal science and their applications related to the following topics:
-Animal breeding and genetics
-Molecular genetics
-Animal physiology and reproduction
-Nutrition and feeding
-Animal behaviour and welfare
-General animal husbandry and systems of production, including economic and technical aspects
-Hygiene and quality of animal products
In addition to original articles, covering basic as well as applied subjects, the journal features review articles and short communications.
Acta Agriculturæ Scandinavica, Section A – Animal Science forms part of a trilogy of titles published on behalf of the Nordic Association of Agricultural Scientists (NJF). The series also includes Section B - Soil & Plant Science and the recently launched Section C - Food Economics .
Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica A, B and C are available to purchase as a combined subscription. This provides access to all three journals in the series, and is available to institutional subscribers only. For full pricing information, please view the Taylor & Francis Journals Price List here.
Scientists in research, teaching and extension with specialised interest in animal science and production.
