Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to collect high-quality contributions addressing recent advances in sensing technologies, electronic instrumentation, and measurement systems applied to animal sciences and wildlife monitoring.
Extended versions of selected papers presented at the 2026 IEEE International Workshop on Measurements and Applications in Veterinary and Animal Sciences (MEAVeAS, https://www.meaveas.org) are particularly welcome. However, this Special Issue is also open to original research articles not presented at the workshop, provided they fall within the scope of the Special Issue.
The primary objective of this Special Issue is to highlight innovative approaches that enhance the monitoring, diagnosis, and management of animal health, welfare, and production systems, as well as the observation, detection, and management of wildlife. Particular attention is given to technologies supporting sustainable practices, including systems for mitigating wildlife–livestock interactions and improving environmental compatibility.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Advanced sensors and sensing platforms for animal health and behaviour monitoring;
- Electronic measurement systems and instrumentation for veterinary and animal sciences;
- Precision livestock farming technologies and smart farming solutions;
- Biosensors and wearable devices for real-time monitoring;
- Measurement methodologies and metrology-assisted processes in food production and safety;
- Remote sensing, tracking, and monitoring systems for wildlife;
- Detection, deterrence, and mitigation systems for wildlife–livestock and human–wildlife interactions;
- Data acquisition, signal processing, and AI-based analysis for biological and environmental measurements.
By bringing together contributions from different disciplines, this Special Issue aims to foster cross-disciplinary collaboration and to showcase technological innovations enabling more efficient, sustainable, and measurement-driven systems in animal sciences and wildlife monitoring.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
