Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Research on lipid nutrition in monogastric animals, such as swine, poultry, canines, and felines, is essential for enhancing growth performance, improving health, and ensuring the production of high-quality animal products. As global demand for animal protein and optimal companion animal nutrition continues to rise, optimizing lipid nutrition through ongoing research is critical for promoting sustainable and efficient production practices for monogastric species, including livestock and pets.
This Special Issue will serve as a forum for presenting the latest findings on lipid nutrition across monogastric species, covering key areas such as (1) Growth Performance and Feed Efficiency, (2) Health and Immune Function, (3) Meat Quality, (4) Environmental Impact, and (5) Nutrient Interactions.
We invite contributions that push the boundaries of knowledge in lipid nutrition and metabolism in monogastric animals and encourage the submission of original research papers and comprehensive literature reviews.
Dr. Anoosh Rakhshandeh
Guest Editor
