Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Meat quality has always been important to consumers, and it may be especially so in today’s world. Dietary nutrients are key factors that affect the meat quality in livestock and poultry. How do these nutrients regulate the meat quality, though, and what are the underlying mechanisms? To produce high-quality meat, it is necessary to understand the formation process of meat quality traits and the factors that control them. A greater understanding of the underlying mechanisms of nutritional regulation on meat quality will lead to novel strategies to improve livestock and poultry meat product quality.
Therefore, this Special Issue of Animals, entitled “The Regulation and Mechanism of Nutrition on the Formation of Meat Quality”, invites studies (original research papers or reviews) on the current state of knowledge of the subject. Specifically, this Special Issue should include, but is not limited to, the latest advances in the molecular mechanisms of dietary nutrients (nutrition level and diet composition, prebiotics and probiotics, gut microbiota, bioactive compounds, etc.) in regulating meat-quality-related traits, including lipid deposition, muscle biology, metabolism (lipid metabolism, glycometabolism, inflammation, immunologic function, etc).
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Xinxia Wang
Guest Editor
