Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sustainable production through animal health management systems is acknowledged today as the way forward for livestock production systems vis a vis food safety. A number of critical issues are linked to the above-mentioned perception, such as antimicrobial resistance, use of antimicrobials, biosecurity, welfare, etc.
The impact of animal health management and sustainable livestock production on food safety needs to be accurately addressed but also holistically viewed in the context of One Health. The human–animal–environment interface needs to be further elucidated in a multidisciplinary manner with regard to climate change as well. Animal health management is directly linked to the safety and security of food of animal origin, and therefore, its assessment is crucial for the consumer and public health protection.
The aim of this Special Issue is to highlight all these issues with the latest scientific knowledge with a view to enhancing food safety for the benefit of the consumer. Thus, researchers are invited to contribute high-quality original research or review papers.
