Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
2026 will mark the 15th anniversary of Life (ISSN: 2075-1729). During the past 15 years, the Section "Animal Science" has published papers on many scientific advancements. We thank our authors, reviewers, Editorial Board Members, and readers for their invaluable support, which made reaching this milestone possible.
To commemorate this anniversary, we are launching a Special Issue dedicated to Animal Health Science. This collection will highlight the progress achieved in the past decades, current knowledge, and the emerging challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
We invite contributions that span the full spectrum of animal health, including but not limited to the following topics:
- Animal disease prevention and management;
- Veterinary medicine;
- Animal nutrition and sustainable livestock management;
- Genetics, breeding and reproduction;
- Genomics, immunology, and biotechnology in animal health research;
- One Health perspectives linking animal, human, and environmental health;
We look forward to receiving your contributions and to shaping the next chapter of the Section "Animal Science" together.
Prof. Dr. Einar Ringø
Guest Editor
