Ruminants are one of the world's economically important species, and their reproductive health is critical to the economic development of the livestock industry. In recent years, research on the relationship between microbiota and reproductive health has received much attention. Microbiota disruption affects the developmental health of the testes and epididymis, the male reproductive organs of the host, which in turn is related to sperm quality. Maintaining a stable microbiota protects the host from pathogens and increases breeding performance, which in turn promotes the economic development of animal husbandry. In addition, the effects and mechanisms of microbiota on reproduction were further explored. These findings support new approaches to improving and managing reproductive health in ruminants through the microbiota and facilitate further systematic exploration of microbiota-mediated reproductive impacts.
反刍动物是世界上具有重要经济价值的物种之一，它们的生殖健康对畜牧业的经济发展至关重要。近年来，微生物群与生殖健康之间关系的研究受到了广泛关注。微生物群的破坏会影响宿主睾丸和附睾的发育健康，而睾丸和附睾是男性生殖器官，进而与精子质量有关。保持稳定的微生物群可以保护宿主免受病原体的侵害，并提高繁殖性能，从而促进畜牧业的经济发展。此外，还进一步探讨了微生物群对繁殖的影响和机制。这些发现为通过微生物群改善和管理反刍动物生殖健康提供了新的方法，并有助于进一步系统地探索微生物群介导的生殖影响。
