摘要

The gut microbiome plays a crucial role in intestinal maturation, metabolism, and immunoregulation, significantly influencing the host’s health and growth performance. This review highlights the use of metagenomic techniques to the composition, function, and dynamic changes of the pig gut microbiota. Research has revealed that environmental and host factors, particularly diet, drive significant variations in microbial composition, which in turn shape host epigenetics through microbial components and metabolites. Furthermore, the strong correlation between the gut microbiota and host health presents opportunities for improving growth performance in the livestock industry.
