Animal nutrition is a section in the open access journal Animals focusing on nutritional research, which is crucial for the health, well-being, and productivity of various animal species including farm and companion animals, wildlife, and aquatic species. The section explores dietary requirements, nutrient metabolism, and feeding practices to optimize feed formulations and management strategies, thereby supporting optimal growth, reproduction, and overall performance. Original articles and reviews covering a wide range of topics relating to animal nutrition are welcomed, including those that focus on the fundamental aspects of nutritional requirements, physiological processes, metabolic studies, energetics, immunology, microbiology, feed additives, feed safety, and animal-specific feed technology and preservation. Through interdisciplinary collaborations and cutting-edge technologies, research on animal nutrition is continually evolving, thereby providing new insights and solutions to address challenges in the animal agriculture industry.
