Improvement in ovarian function following fecal microbiota transplantation from high-laying rate breeders

The impacts of animal agriculture on One Health—Bacterial zoonosis, antimicrobial resistance, and beyond

“…FMT has recently been investigated in animal agriculture as well, particularly in poultry. Recent studies have found that FMT improved weight gain and overall health of broiler chickens by reshaping the gut microbiota composition; specifically protected chicks from Salmonella enteritidis infection; and improved egg-laying performance in broiler breeders [ [146] , [147] , [148] ]. Besides FMT, probiotics can also be used to alter the microbiome and thus prevent or eradicate infection.…”

The effect of the female genital tract and gut microbiome on reproductive dysfunction

“…Despite the lack of clinical data, FMT is a potential treatment option for endometriosis due to its beneficial effect in reducing EM-related pain. In breeders, FMT can regulate increased hormone secretion, intestinal health, and ovarian function through SIRT1related cell apoptosis and cytokine signaling pathways (142). In addition to animal models, prospective data should be obtained from laboratory studies for further research in humans.…”

Dietary Chinese herbal mixture supplementation improves production performance by regulating reproductive hormones, antioxidant capacity, immunity, and intestinal health of broiler breeders

“…The beneficial effects of Chinese herbals are largely accomplished through the regulation of the gut microbiota, which plays a vital role in maintaining gut health and influencing the overall production performance of laying hens ( An et al, 2019 ; Wang et al, 2020 ). Gut microbiota homeostasis is an important prerequisite to ensure the growth and production performance of laying hens, which is supported by the various bacteria transplantation experiments ( Liu et al, 2022 ; Cao et al, 2023 ).…”
