Probiotic Hungatella hathewayi increases host estrogen level via regulation of gut microbiota and host metabolism in sows
Our findings suggest that dietary supplementation with <i>Hungatella hathewayi</i> has the potential to modulate host estrogen levels through the regulation of gut microbiota and host metabolism. This mechanism may serve as a novel and promising approach for influencing reproductive performance in sows.
