Advancements in Reproductive Biotechnology and Nutritional Strategies in Livestock Production

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.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Agriculture is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
