Abstract
Equine fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is an emerging therapy for restoring gut microbiome balance in horses. An imbalance in the gut microorganisms, known as dysbiosis, can cause inflammation and metabolic disruptions. FMT, which involves transferring gut bacteria from a healthy donor to a diseased recipient, has shown positive results in treating gastrointestinal diseases in horses, but is still largely limited to research purposes due to safety concerns and lack of understanding of its mechanisms. This paper aims to shed light on the possible mechanisms of FMT in horses and discuss future perspectives for its clinical application. Further research is needed to develop more effective and safer FMT techniques for horses.
