Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Intensive poultry production is currently confronted with multifaceted challenges, including deteriorated poultry health status, suboptimal nutrient utilization efficiency and excessive nutrient and carbon emissions. Conventional nutritional strategies, which overly prioritize growth and laying performance, can hardly satisfy the modern requirements of antibiotic-free breeding, precision feeding and low-carbon sustainable poultry farming. As a pivotal modifiable intervention, nutritional regulation serves as a powerful approach to synchronize poultry health maintenance, production optimization and environmentally friendly cultivation. This Special Issue highlights innovative nutritional regulation strategies dedicated to improving poultry health, enhancing production efficiency and achieving low-carbon farming. It welcomes high-quality original research and review articles covering intestinal health modulation, metabolic disorder mitigation, precision nutrition optimization, novel feed resource exploitation and nutrition-mediated emission reduction mechanisms. In contrast to conventional single-dimensional investigations, this issue establishes a holistic research framework that integrates nutritional intervention, physiological homeostasis, efficient production and ecological sustainability. The existing poultry nutrition literature largely emphasizes individual production traits while ignoring the intrinsic correlations between gut microecological balance, metabolic health and environmental impacts. In this context, the present Special Issue fills critical research gaps and complements current theoretical systems by constructing a systematic research paradigm. It provides updated theoretical foundations and practical technical solutions for green poultry production, promotes interdisciplinary innovation and global academic exchange and facilitates international collaborative research to accelerate the green and sustainable transformation of modern intensive poultry industries worldwide.
