Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As Editor-in-Chief of the ‘Animal Products’ section of Animals, I am pleased to invite researchers to submit their high-quality articles for our upcoming Special Issue titled “Featured Papers in the ‘Animal Products’ Section”. We are seeking contributions that establish a clear link between livestock production in a wide sense and the quality of animal-derived products.
We welcome research that examines the effects of various factors such as management, nutrition, breed, genetics, husbandry systems, housing conditions, welfare, stress, disease, and toxicology on animal products including, but not limited to, meat, fish, milk, eggs, honey, wool, and cashmere.
Please note that we are not looking for studies that solely focus on animal products for human consumption, as these are more suited to journals dedicated to food science. We look forward to receiving your innovative and impactful research that will contribute to the advancement of knowledge in the field of animal products.
Dr. Guillermo Ripoll
Guest Editor
