Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The escalating impacts of climate change and global food demands have heightened the need for sustainable and diversified livestock production systems. This Special Issue aims to highlight cutting-edge research and review articles that employ metabolomics and related studies to advance our understanding and the optimization of livestock products and their processing, as well as the metabolic responses of living organisms. By exploring these topics, this Special Issue seeks to contribute to the digital transformation of the livestock and food processing industries, promoting resilience and efficiency in the face of emerging global challenges.
In addition to metabolomics and foodomics, this Special Issue invites contributions on the use of nutritional genomics, digital twins, and Industry 4.0 technologies in improving livestock health, production efficiency, and product quality. Papers that address the intersection of flavor science, health benefits, and sustainable farming practices are particularly encouraged. The publication of this Special Issue will provide valuable insights and practical applications for advancing the future of food production, ensuring the sustainability of agricultural practices, and enhancing the overall quality of food products on a global scale.
