Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The breeds and health of non-traditional farm animals, companion animals, and lab animals, along with the genetic diversity of wildlife, have been acknowledged as issues of global concern. New technologies and methods have been widely used in genetics for breeding non-traditional farm animals, companion animals and lab animals, and for the conservation of genetic diversity in other forms of wildlife. Consequently, it is necessary to display the great progress in the fields of genetics, breeding and genetic diversity conservation for these animals in order to improve the value of non-traditional farm animals, companion animals and lab animals, and enhance the level of wild animal protection and management.
This Special Issue will showcase researchers’ ongoing efforts to achieve these goals. Colleagues are encouraged to submit manuscripts in the form of original research papers or reviews on the topics of the genetics and breeding of non-traditional farm animals, companion animals and lab animals, and genetic diversity wildlife conservation, as well as discussions of limitations, challenges, and future directions within the field.
