Comparative Animal Nutrition and Metabolism

Dear Colleagues,

Animal nutrition is critically important for their health, growth, and development. The regulation of nutrition processes directly affects the functions of tissues and organs, contributing to changes in their molecular and cellular metabolism. The scientific advancements and innovative paradigms in the field of nutritional and metabolic adaptation in animals have created new challenges that require collaboration of scientists from the fields of biochemistry, physiology, endocrinology, immunology, microbiology, and pathology.

The areas of interest of our Topical Collection encompass studies on the processes of providing and obtaining food, digestion and absorption of nutrients in metabolic terms in both domestic and wild animals, as well as nutrition in the context of counteracting diabetes, obesity, metabolic syndrome, bone disease and neurodegenerative changes. We are highly interested in manuscripts regarding the interaction of nutrients with genes and gastrointestinal microflora. Moreover, in the Topical Collection, we would like to include the recent news on a comparative approach in nutrient digestion, metabolism, with particular attention given to nutritional and metabolic idiosyncrasies among species.

In this Topical Collection, original research articles and reviews are welcome.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
