The intestinal microbiota has received a lot of attention in recent times due to its essential role in the immune system development and function. Recent work in humans has demonstrated that the first year of life is the most critical time period for microbiome development with perturbations during this time being proven to have long term health consequences. In this review, we describe the literature surrounding early life events in humans and mice that contribute to intestinal microbiota development and function, and compare this to piglets predominantly during their lactation period, which focuses on the impact lactation management practices may have on the intestinal microbiota. Although extensive research has been conducted in this area in humans and mice, little research exists in pigs during perceivably the most critical time period of development, which is the lactation period. The research reviewed outlines the importance of appropriate intestinal microbiota development. However, further research is needed in order to understand the full extent routine farm practices have on a piglet's intestinal microbiota.
近年来，肠道微生物群因其在免疫系统发育和功能中的重要作用而备受关注。近期针对人类的研究表明，生命的第一年是微生物组发育的最关键时期，在此期间的干扰已被证明会产生长期的健康后果。在这篇综述中，我们描述了围绕人类和小鼠早期生命事件的文献，这些事件有助于肠道微生物群的发育和功能，并将其与主要处于哺乳期的仔猪进行比较，重点关注泌乳管理措施可能对肠道微生物群产生的影响。尽管在人类和小鼠这一领域已经进行了广泛的研究，但在猪发育过程中可感知的最关键时期，即哺乳期，相关研究却很少。所综述的研究概述了适当的肠道微生物群发育的重要性。然而，为了全面了解常规养殖实践对仔猪肠道微生物群的影响，还需要进一步的研究。
