Abstract: Gut microbiota are involved in nutrient metabolism and affect the health and development of pigs. Disturbed gut microbiota can cause diarrhea and immune response in pigs. Therefore, gut microbiota play a vital role in pig health. This article reviwed the distribution of gut microbiota in different development stages of piglets, the influence mechanism of gut microbiota metabolites on gut health, and the relationship between gut microbiota and gut barrier. As well discussed the current research progress of gut health and future research direction, aiming to provide theoretical reference to modulate intestinal networks to maintain swine health.

Key words: gut microbiota, metabolites, gut health, pigs
