Samples were collected for progesterone assessment (serum concentration), vaginal cytology, and microbial analysis (after isolation followed by MALDI-TOF identification) from four young pubescent, four non-pregnant, and three pregnant females. Microbial composition varied according to the reproductive stage: young pubescent females predominantly harbored Alcaligenes faecalis (Proteobacteria; 33.3%), non-pregnant females primarily hosted Bacillus badius and Staphylococcus microti (Firmicutes; 85.7%), and pregnant females had more Bacillus cereus and Mammaliicoccus sciuri (Firmicutes; 54.5%). No significant correlation (P &amp;gt; 0.05) was found between microbial proportions and progesterone levels or vaginal cytology. Although no differences were detected in the proportions of different vaginal bacterial populations, there was great qualitative diversity of species of microorganisms among females at different reproductive stages. While the small sample size may have limited our ability to detect more subtle quantitative differences, these findings provide foundational insights into the reproductive microbiota of collared peccaries, with potential implications for their conservation and management.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Lay summary<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Despite the importance of reproductive microbiomes in animal conservation, there is still a lack of knowledge in many wild species.

Although no differences were detected in the proportions of different vaginal bacterial populations, there was great qualitative diversity of species of microorganisms among females at different reproductive stages.
