Female Genital Diseases and Reproductive Parameters in Animals

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue, “Female Genital Diseases and Reproductive Parameters in Animals”, aims to provide an updated overview of recent therapeutic advances in animal reproduction, with a particular focus on disorders affecting the female genital tract in animals. Particular attention is paid to so-called “third-way” therapies, namely alternative approaches that are neither strictly medical nor surgical. Examples include electroporation techniques, ozone therapy, and phytotherapeutic treatments.

Regarding reproductive parameters, this Special Issue seeks to highlight the application of advanced diagnostic methods, such as innovative hormonal panels and next-generation imaging techniques. Emphasis will also be placed on studies employing reproductive tract microbiota analysis as a diagnostic and prognostic tool for genital diseases. Finally, manuscripts aiming to improve seminal parameters in domestic animals will also be considered. This topic, which is gaining increasing interest, has clear medical relevance and significant economic implications.
