Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Microbial cells—including bacteria, fungi, viruses, and archaea—are widely distributed among animals and have been found in different biogeographical locations, such as the gastrointestinal system, respiratory system, reproductive system, and skin. Collectively, these microbes and their genetic material are called the microbiome. The advancement of high-throughput technologies has propelled exponential increases in the understanding of the interaction between microbes and their host. Animal microbiome can be affected by various host and environmental factors, such as different management strategies, diet composition, physiological conditions, stress, and disease states. Therefore, it is of great importance to maintain the homeostasis of animal microbiome for proper health conditions and enhance animal efficiency. This research topic welcomes ongoing studies on molecular biomarkers and microbiome–diet–livestock interactions in health and disease status that may contribute towards enhancing animal health and profitability.

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.
