Table 1. The diversity in dog’s gut microbiome depending on body condition scoring

	Body condition scores (BCS)				SEM	p-value
	Lean	Optimal		Overweight
	3	4	5	6
No. of reads after the preprocessing	70,391	75,287	71,980	73,685	1,389	0.609
OTUs (No. of clusters)	5,176	4,588	4,757	4,546	117	0.357
Alpha diversity (Shannon index)	4.53a	4.33ab	4.31ab	3.96b	0.05	0.044

Values are means.
Means with superscript in a same row significantly differ (p < 0.05).
SEM, standard error of means; OTUs, operational taxonomic units.
