Advances and Challenges in Animal Feed Safety and Quality Control

Dear Colleagues,

A crucial part of agronomic research is to ensure the quality of the products obtained from animals for human consumption while also ensuring the correct management and good health of the animals used, and because feed supply and feed safety are linked, the origin and management of feedstuff is also crucial. When we take care of the quality of products fed to animals, we are also taking care of the quality of products fed to the population, in the “farm-to-fork” model. 

For this reason, a special issue entitled “Advances and challenges in animal feed safety and quality control”, from the “Animals” journal is being issues. This issue is a compilation of new research and review articles on topics related to feed safety and the strategies found to ensure quality, such as feedstuff, feedstuff processing and handling, feed supply, anti-nutritional factors, contamination, antibiotics in animal feed, and water quality.
