Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Protein nutrition is critical for the health of farm animals due to multiple functional roles in cell proliferation, intestinal health, and the maintenance of biological processes, such as immune response, embryo attachment and implantation, fetal survival and development, disease recovery, and the production of meat, milk, and eggs. It is generally believed that peptides and amino acids are the predominant mediators that confer to these functions in humans and animals.
Original papers, including research papers and review papers related to protein, peptide, amino acids, and the nutrition and health of farm animals, are welcome to be submitted to this Special Issue. All submitted papers will be reviewed according to the Animals journal guidelines.
