Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The reproductive success of domestic animals plays an important role in the sustainability and evolution of different species. Therefore, the understanding of mechanisms to improve the reproductive efficiency among animals will lead to the success of the system. The use of genomic technologies to better select animals has accelerated cumulative and permanent genetic gain among animals. In addition, it has improved the understanding of genetic mechanisms involved with reproductive success. Genome sequencing has enabled the identification of genes and their association with important phenotypes. For this purpose, the Special Issue “Applying Genomic Technology to Animal Reproduction” is designed to discuss the recent application of cutting-edge approaches in the use of genomics to understand reproductive control in animals. The content of this Special Issue will be original research papers, review articles, as well as short communications.

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 2000 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.

Title: Anti-Müllerian hormone as molecular and physiological marker to improve reproductive performance in Holstein dairy cows exposed to heat stress
Author: Luna-Nevárez
Highlights: AMH is a marker for fertility in cattle but is affected by heat stress.
Molecular and endocrine technologies are useful to decipher AMH marker ability in heat-stressed dairy cows.
Six AMH-related SNPs were proposed as molecular markers to improve summer reproductive performance.
Serum AMH was an endocrine biomarker for summer fertility only in cows under moderate heat stress.
