Research Progress of MicroRNA in Livestock and Poultry Production
MicroRNA(miRNA)is a class of short non-coding RNA molecules,which has attracted wide at-tention in many aspects of cell regulation and biological processes.In recent years,researchers have found that miRNA play important regulatory roles in animal physiological processes,especially in the fields of muscle de-velopment,fat metabolism,meat quality,hormone secretion and intestinal health.In this review,the roles of miRNA in these physiological processes and potential mechanisms will be thoroughly reviewed in order to pro-vide useful scientific evidence for animal husbandry and food industry.[Chinese Journal of Animal Nutrition,2024,36(8):4761-4772]
