The intestine is the largest digestive and immune organ of animals, and it is also the site with the largest number and variety of microorganisms. Intestinal microorganisms have a close interaction with the host. On the one hand, the host provides a stable growth environment for intestinal microorganisms; on the other hand, intestinal microorganisms can help the host digest food, resist pathogenic bacteria, and produce short-chain fatty acids (short-chain fatty acids). Metabolites such as chain fatty acids (SCFAs), bile acids, and vitamins, thereby regulating the host's physiological health and affecting disease development. This article mainly reviews the composition and distribution of intestinal microorganisms in piglets, the types and functions of intestinal microbial metabolites, and the impact of probiotics on the composition and function of intestinal microorganisms in piglets, with a view to providing insights into the research on intestinal microorganisms and diseases i...
