Advancements in Reproductive Biotechnology and Nutritional Strategies in Livestock Production

This special issue belongs to the section “Farm Animal Production“.

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The livestock industry is undergoing a transformative era, driven by cutting-edge reproductive biotechnology and innovative nutritional strategies. Improvements to reproductive efficiency through assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) such as artificial insemination, in vitro fertilization, and embryo transfer are revolutionizing genetic improvement and breeding programs. These improvements are allowing precision breeding, increasing productivity while ensuring genetic diversity and sustainability.

Simultaneously, the optimization of livestock nutrition plays a key role in maximizing animal health, growth, and reproductive performance. Emerging precision feeding systems and the integration of nutrigenomics are allowing the development of customized diet formulations that increase efficiency and reduce environmental impacts. The synergy between reproductive biotechnology and advanced nutritional strategies could lead to a promising future for sustainable animal production.

For this Special Issue, we invite researchers, veterinarians, and industry professionals to explore the latest innovations in these fields, addressing the challenges and opportunities shaping the future of animal farming. Join us in advancing scientific knowledge and developing practical applications to improve productivity, sustainability, and profitability in animal production.
