Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The environment experienced before and during pregnancy profoundly impacts fertility, pregnancy success and progeny performance. This special edition will focus primarily on the impacts of environmental exposures (e.g., climate, stress, pollution, circadian disruption and nutrition) on pregnancy and neonatal outcomes in ruminant species, and strategies which alleviate any negative outcomes.
