Reproductive Management of Goats and Sheep

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue focuses on the reproductive management of goats and sheep, highlighting the latest research and advancements in this field. With a specific emphasis on the breeding, physiology, and production aspects, this Special Issue aims to contribute to the knowledge and practices related to the reproductive processes in these animals. Additionally, this Special Issue addresses animal welfare concerns and explores sustainable agricultural practices to enhance the overall productivity and well-being of goats and sheep. The journal encourages the submission of all research papers related to goats and sheep as long as they contribute knowledge to the reproduction and management of animal systems. The journal particularly encourages papers that demonstrate interactions between different methods to illustrate the comprehensive nature of biological systems.

"Reproductive Management of Goats and Sheep" is a must-read publication for all scientists, stakeholders, and decision-makers interested in the fields of biomedical science, animal science, veterinary science, and environmental science. These disciplines of science have anticipated impacts on animal performance and productivity, animal welfare, animal health, the environment, product quality, human health and nutrition, and the sustainability of animal agriculture and livestock systems. These impacts should be internationally relevant.
