Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid advancement of technologies applied to ruminant nutrition and production has created new opportunities to improve animal performance, resource-use efficiency, product quality, and environmental sustainability. In recent years, the integration of innovative tools into nutritional and production systems has become essential to addressing global challenges such as climate change, feed efficiency, animal welfare, and sustainable livestock production.
For this Special Issue of AgriEngineering (MDPI), “New Technologies in Ruminant Nutrition and Production”, we aim to compile high-quality research and review articles that explore emerging technologies and novel approaches in ruminant systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, precision nutrition, nutritional modeling, feed evaluation techniques, the use of functional additives, rumen microbiome modulation, biomarkers of intake and metabolism, sensor-based monitoring, data-driven decision tools, and advanced analytical methods. Studies addressing impacts on animal performance, health, product quality, and environmental outcomes are particularly encouraged. Original research articles and review papers are welcome in this Special Issue.
By bringing together cutting-edge research from different disciplines, we seek to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date perspective on how new technologies can contribute to more efficient, resilient, and sustainable ruminant production systems worldwide.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Kind regards,
Dr. Jarbas Miguel
Dr. Cláudia Batista Sampaio
