摘要

The kingdom of fungi holds vast potential for addressing critical challenges in animal health and environmental sustainability. This paper discusses the diverse roles fungi play in ecosystems, biotechnology, and veterinary medicine. It highlights the profound impact of fungal metabolites, enzymes, and proteins in promoting ecological balance, enhancing animal nutrition, and increasing disease resistance. Through sustainable cultivation and harvesting techniques, fungal resources can be conserved while unlocking applications in pharmaceuticals, feed additives, and antimicrobial agents. Advancements in fungal genomics and bioinformatics enable the discovery of novel bioactive compounds with therapeutic and industrial applications. However, significant challenges such as toxicity concerns, regulatory barriers, and scalability must be addressed. This paper emphasizes the need for innovative solutions and interdisciplinary approaches to harness fungi’s full potential in improving animal health and achieving sustainable development goals.
