Sammanfattning
The cattle production system focuses on maintaining an animal-based food supply with a lower number of cattle. However, the fecundity of dairy cows has declined worldwide. The reproductive tract microbiome is one of the important factors which can influence bovine fecundity. Therefore, reproductive tract microbiomes have been explored during the estrus cycle, artificial insemination, gestation, and postpartum to establish a link between the micro-communities and reproductive performance. These investigations suggested that microbial dysbiosis in the reproductive tract may be associated with declined fertility. However, there is a scarcity of comprehensive investigations to understand microbial diversity, abundance, shift, and host-microbiome interplay for bovine infertility cases such as repeat breeding syndrome (RBS). This review summarizes the occurrence and persistence of microbial taxa to gain a better understanding of reproductive performance and its implications. Further, we also discuss the possibilities of microbiome manipulation strategies to enhance bovine fecundity.
