Abstract：Semen quality is an essential contributor to reproductive efficiency in livestock production, as well as an important indicator of breeding selection and genetic potential of male livestock, which is of great significance for livestock production. As the largest microecosystem in domestic animals, gut microbiota participates in multiple physiological and pathological processes, including male infertility, obesity, inflammation and cancer, involved in material and energy metabolism, has an important impact on body health. In this paper, the progress on the efffect of gut microbiota on semen quality and reproductive performance of male livestocks were reviewed, This review provides novel ideas for improving semen quality and promoting efficient delivery of excellent genes.
