Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rumen is an essential digestive organ in ruminants, containing a numerous amount of complicated microorganisms for fermentation. The rumen fermentation process not only affects the utilization efficiency of animal feed, but is also a crucial factor affecting animal production efficiency and methane emissions. It is worth noting that aberrant rumen fermentation can cause rumen acidosis, rumen bloat, and other diseases, and even animal death in severe circumstances. Nutritional manipulation is an important method employed in order to affect rumen fermentation. Scientific and reasonable nutrition manipulation can enhance feed utilization efficiency in ruminants by regulating rumen fermentation, reducing the occurrence of rumen disorders, lowering production costs, mitigating rumen methane emissions, and enhancing the efficiency of ruminant breeding.
Considering the success of the earlier Special Issue "Advances in Nutritional Manipulation of Rumen Fermentation", we are pleased to launch a second Special Issue on the topic, welcoming original research and review papers that address the latest nutrition manipulation theories, methods, and technologies affecting rumen fermentation, including effects on the rumen microbial structure, improving the efficiency of rumen microbial synthesis and nutrient degradation, preventing rumen acidosis and bloating, promoting rumen tissue development and repair, and reducing rumen methane emission via nutrition manipulation methods. Other topics related to the nutritional manipulation of rumen fermentation are also welcome.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Lizhi Wang
Guest Editor
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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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. Animals is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
