Abstract：Vitamin E can promote testicular development and spermatogenesis of livestock and poultry.At present,most related studies of vitamin E tend to explore its effects on reproductive performance from the perspective of antioxidant,but some studies have found potential non-antioxidant functions of vitamin E.In order to further reveal the mechanism of vitamin E regulating animal reproductive performance,this paper reviewed the effects of vitamin E on reproductive performance of male domestic animals,and summarized the candidate genes related to cell proliferation,apoptosis,spermatogenesis and hormone receptor,which mediated vitamin E to promote testicular development and spermatogenesis,in order to provide a reference for the application of vitamin E in livestock and poultry reproduction.
