Versions Notes
The Journal Animals retracts the article titled “Ascertaining the Influence of Lacto-Fermentation on Changes in Bovine Colostrum Amino and Fatty Acid Profiles” [1], cited above.
Following publication, concerns were brought to the attention of the Editorial Office regarding overlap between this publication [1] and an earlier article [2] published by a similar authorship group.
Adhering to our standard procedure, an investigation was conducted by the Editorial Office and Editorial Board, which included an evaluation of the scientific content and findings of the paper. While the authors fully cooperated with the investigation through the clarification of the complaint, the Editorial Board confirmed a high level of redundancy between these publications [1,2], without appropriate acknowledgement or citation. Furthermore, the Editorial Board identified concerns relating to the completeness of the analysis and the degree to which the study addresses the stated objectives of this study.
Considering the redundancy and the concerns relating to the analysis and conclusions presented in this publication [1], the Editorial Board have determined that a correction would not appropriately address these issues. Consequently, the Editorial Board has decided to retract this article as per MDPI’s retraction policy (https://www.mdpi.com/ethics#_bookmark30, accessed on 19 March 2025).
This retraction was approved by the Editor-in-Chief of the journal Animals.
The authors did not agree to this retraction.
