Abstract: Organoids are defined as three-dimensional (3D) multicellular self-assembled tissue structures in vitro, which could simulate corresponding organs in vivo in terms of cell types, structural architecture and function. They have obvious tissue specificity and can be used as a novel experimental model in vitro. With the development of technology, organoids have been applied in many fields including organ morphogenesis, organ function, organ repair and transplantation, disease diagnosis, drugs screening, etc. Currently, other than murine intestinal organoid culture, only few studies on animal intestinal organoid culture were reported. However, other animals, especially domestic animals, still suffer from infectious and non-infectious intestinal diseases that urgently need a new study model for pathogenesis or new therapy. Therefore, this research progress focused on animal intestinal organoids culture in the last ten years with the advantages and the disadvantages of it were being summarized. This review may provide new ideas for the related research of animal intestinal organoids.

Key words: animal intestinal organoid, 3D culture
