Special Issue on Farm Animal Production

The production of animal goods; such as meat, dairy, wool, and leather; is a multi-billion-dollar-per-year industry and accounts for over half of the value of U.S. agricultural products. Further, livestock products supply about 13 percent of energy and 28 percent of protein in diets consumed worldwide. The goal of this special issue is to provide a platform for scientists and academicians all over the world to promote, share, and discuss various new issues and developments in this area of Farm Animal Production.

In this special issue, we invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles that explore Farm Animal Production. In this special issue, potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Animal nutrition and the interrelations between diet, metabolism, microbiota and animal health
• The use of functional feed additives to improve animal production
• Alternative feed for livestock species
• Animal breeding and genetics
• The effects of animal feeding on environmental impacts
• The use of feed and food by-products in animal diet;
• The influence of diet and rearing systems on animal performance and products quality
