Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Animal proteomics still remain a narrow field of interest despite their promising potential scientific values. As such, animal proteomics include veterinary-related health aspects, experimental disease and pathogenic studies, laboratory animal studies, drug testing, and understanding genotype–phenotypes. Animal proteomics can also be rapid analyzing parameters for animal product-related policy matters such as meat testing, proteins of milk and other body fluids, such as saliva, sera.
One of the major challenges in animal proteomics is the presence of several abundant proteins such as albumins and globulins, which were thought to generally interfere with the analysis of low abundant proteins. Identification of proteins with low abundance and a low copy number is difficult despite the fact that these proteins might be involved in greater significant biochemical activities—for instance, the role of hormones. Depletion or reduction in the dynamic range of proteins is recommended for investigations on low abundant proteins, which was once referred to as democratization of proteins.
Original manuscripts and review articles dealing with the following wide range of research and applications are invited for this Special Issue on “Animal Proteomics”:
- Identification of animal proteins in diseased domestic animals, poultry, and aquaculture-related issues;
- Experimental reports on protein expressional level influence of drugs, vaccines, and induced diseases and infections;
- Proteomics investigations of milk, animal fluids, and animal products;
- Application of proteomics in rapid testing on animal product adulterations, especially milk and meat products;
- Role of protein level investigations on animal feeds and influence on commercial ventures such as poultry, animal husbandry, and aquaculture;
- Development of protein related therapeutic agents, designing proteome-based newer vaccine candidates and diagnostic tools;
- Role of proteomics in decision and policy making of animal related issues.

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.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
