The development of research methods and tools related to microbiome investigation, as well as widened knowledge and awareness concerning the significance of microorganisms inhabiting mammalian organisms, has led to an increasing popularity of studies in this field. This review paper presents some issues related to the swine microbiome, its development starting from an early age of life and its status in adult animals, as well as factors affecting the microbiome in pigs. Attention is paid to the role of probiotics and prebiotics as alternatives to antibiotics in the context of post-weaning diarrhea treatment, and to the role of microorganisms inhabiting the digestive tract of pigs in performance indices formation. In veterinary and pork production practice, understanding of the swine microbiome and its relationships with the host organism may be useful in the prevention of some diseases and also in improvement of performance results of animals.
与微生物组研究相关的研究方法和工具的发展，以及对栖息于哺乳动物体内的微生物重要性的认识不断拓宽，使得该领域的研究越来越受欢迎。这篇综述文章介绍了一些与猪微生物组相关的问题，包括其从生命早期开始的发育情况及其在成年动物中的状态，以及影响猪微生物组的因素。文章关注了益生菌和益生元在断奶后腹泻治疗中作为抗生素替代品的作用，以及猪消化道中微生物在生产性能指标形成中的作用。在兽医和猪肉生产实践中，了解猪微生物组及其与宿主生物体的关系可能有助于预防某些疾病，并提高动物的生产性能。
