Sustainable Management of Animal Environments

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce a Special Issue dedicated to the sustainable management of animal environments, focusing on innovative strategies to enhance animal welfare, environmental sustainability, and resource efficiency in livestock production, aquaculture, and wildlife conservation.

Potential topics include sustainable housing systems, waste management, climate-smart farming, precision livestock farming, emission reduction, and ethical considerations in animal husbandry. This Special Issue also welcomes research on antibiotic resistance in animal environments and zoonotic microorganisms, addressing their impact on public health and ecosystem safety. We welcome original research, reviews, case studies, and policy analyses that explore technological advancements, best practices, and regulatory frameworks for sustainable animal environment management.
