Abstract: circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a class of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) which are widely involved in various physiological activities. The intestine is an important digestive and immune organ in mammals, which provides nutrients and energy for the body through digestion, and the maintenance of the intestine barrier is closely related to animal health. It has recently been found that circRNAs play an important regulatory role in various physiological activities, and their regu-latory mechanisms in intestinal barrier function have been gradually revealed. Therefore, this paper describes the discovery, characteristics, classifications, functions and production mechanisms of circRNAs, focuses on reviewing the mechanisms of circRNAs in the mammalian intestinal barrier and looks forward to the application of circRNAs in animal husbandry, in order to provide some reference for the development of green and healthy farming.

Key words: circRNAs, mammalian, intestinal barrier, intestinal healthy
