Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue ‘The Progress of Equine Medical Research in China and Beyond’ was successfully concluded on 1 May 2025. We are pleased to have collected around ten high-quality papers, now available for reading here: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/vetsci/special_issues/OT7J2IJ902.
Building on the success of the first volume and in response to the enthusiastic feedback from scholars in the field, we are excited to announce the launch of Volume II of this Special Issue. We continue to welcome submissions of research articles, reviews, communications, and brief reports that contribute to the advancement of equine medical science.
The first volume was launched following the 2024 International Forum of Equine Medicine, held under the auspices of the 11th Annual Congress of the Chinese Veterinary Medical Association (CVMA), co-hosted by the CVMA Chinese Board of Equine Practitioners (CBEP) and the College of Veterinary Medicine at China Agricultural University. Held in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, the forum gathered leading experts from China, the USA, Austria, Korea, and beyond.
The forum and subsequent Special Issue highlighted recent developments in internal medicine, surgery, sports medicine, reproduction, and equine welfare. It provided a strong platform for knowledge sharing, the advancement of equine education and research in China, and the promotion of international collaboration.
We look forward to your valuable contributions to the second volume of this Special Issue as we continue to support and showcase cutting-edge equine medical research globally.
