Abstract: Mitochondria are the primary energy-generating sites in animal cells, where they can participate in the production of triphosphate and the maintenance of a constant state of mitochondrial Ca2+, which is crucial for animal health and energy metabolism. Studies have found that gut microflora and their metabolites can mediate the level and function of mitochondrial metabolism, which then affects the growth and development of the turnover of nutrient metabolism, feed conversion efficiency, etc. Based on the summary of the biological function of mitochondria, this review focuses on the influence of gut microflora and their metabolites on mitochondrial activity and the influencing factors, aiming to provide a theoretical reference for regulating growth and intestinal health of animals by the dietary nutrition-mediated intestinal microbial-host mitochondrial pathway.

Key words: mitochondrial function, intestinal microorganism, metabolites, intestinal health
