Stress in dog breeding leads to significant physiological and psychological burdens, including anxiety, reduced appetite, weakened immune function, gut microbiota imbalance, even death. Currently, there are various pharmacological interventions for stress management, but few focus on health. This study evaluates the potential of a novel strain, Enterococcus faecium Kimate-X, alleviating transport improving health dogs, providing an alternative traditional treatments. In vitro experiments showed that Kimate-X significantly enhanced activities superoxide dismutase (SOD) catalase (CAT) while reducing levels malondialdehyde (MDA) tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) RAW 264.7 macrophage cells. vivo, dogs supplemented with exhibited lower cortisol after transport, indicating stress. Metagenomic analysis revealed increased diversity higher concentrations short-chain fatty acids (acetate, propionate, butyrate) fecal samples. systematically uncovers mechanism by which alleviates through modulation microbiota. These findings provide new scientific evidence supporting use probiotics as approach management animals.

The human gut hosts complex microbial communities, which are linked to health and disease. microbiota is continuously reshaped by multiple environmental factors, especially diet. Gut dysbiosis may promote various metabolic, neurological, intestinal, cardiovascular diseases, even tumor development. Probiotics have shown promising prophylactic, mitigating, or curative effects when use as nutrient supplements adjunctive therapy. These beneficial and/or symptom alleviation often accompanied microbiome metabolome changes. Differing from other published review articles, here we summarized the latest knowledge of evidence-based health-promoting probiotics scouring literature recent animal probiotic intervention studies.
