Product Testing Designed to Measure Microbiome Impact
Whether you are developing a pet food, therapeutic product, probiotic, prebiotic, supplement, or drug treatment, understanding how your product influences the animal microbiome can provide valuable insight for research, development, product validation, and market positioning.
MiDOG supports product testing by evaluating how a product may affect microbial composition, pathogen presence, microbial diversity, antimicrobial resistance markers, and functional microbiome shifts across relevant animal sample types. This allows manufacturers, researchers, and product developers to move beyond general claims and generate data-driven insight into how their product interacts with the microbiome.
Using advanced sequencing and bioinformatic analysis, MiDOG can help assess changes before, during, and after product use, making our testing especially valuable for feeding trials, supplement studies, probiotic evaluations, prebiotic research, drug treatment studies, dermatology research, gastrointestinal health studies, and other animal health applications.
Important Markers We Can Evaluate Include:
- Pathogen detection
- Commensal microbiome composition
- Microbial richness and diversity
- Antimicrobial resistance markers
- Probiotic colonization
- Prebiotic impact
- Symbiotic formulation effects
- Longitudinal microbiome changes
- Comparative product performance
- Baseline, treatment, and post-treatment shifts
- Product formulation comparisons
- Treatment group and control group comparisons
- Dosing strategy comparisons
MiDOG helps product teams generate meaningful microbiome data to support product development, scientific communication, clinical collaboration, and evidence-based marketing.
In the past, we have worked on feeding trials and clinical/drug testing trials. With a proven publication record of over 50 publications over the years, the MiDOG Team is uniquely qualified to elevate your product research, development, and reputation.
Examples of potential sample types include:
- Feces
- Skin Swabs/Scapings
- Ear Swabs
- Urine
- Nasal Swabs
