Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Livestock production systems face the dual challenges of global demands and environmental impacts. This Special Issue seeks to advance the discourse on integrated solutions that balance productivity with planetary health. We invite research and review articles addressing innovative approaches in precision nutrition, alternative feed resource development, and enhanced nutrient recycling. Submissions exploring effective strategies for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions, promoting circular bio-economies through waste valorization, and improving animal health and welfare within sustainable frameworks are welcome. This collection aims to provide a comprehensive, interdisciplinary platform for sharing cutting-edge knowledge and actionable strategies to foster resilient, efficient, and ethically sound livestock production systems for the future.
