Abstract

The mammary gland provides a very well environment for the microorganisms growth and reproduction, and the microorganisms also play important physiological functions for the body. With the molecular biology techniques development, such as high throughput 16S rRNA gene sequencing, which shown a deeper understanding of the milk microflora structure. Healthy dairy cows have rich microbial diversity and special microbial flora in milk or colostrum. While mastitis will occur if the structure of microflora is disordered, accompanying with a significant decrease in microbial diversity. It has been reported that many factors affect the milk microflora, such as the genotype, physiological status and feeding conditions and so on. Specially the microflora in the mammary gland is not only strictly regulated by the body, but also has a strong ability on self-regulation. It was proved that antibiotics would not have a significant and lasting effect on it. In this review, we provide perspectives on investigations of milk microflora characteristics and to indicate breast health status by milk microflora in the future.
