Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue delves into the physiological mechanisms of reproduction and the underlying causes of reproductive disorders in animals. It presents the latest research on the hormonal regulation of reproduction, gametogenesis, fertilization, and embryo development, shedding light on how these processes can be optimized for improved fertility. The Issue also addresses common reproductive disorders in animals, including ovarian dysfunction, endometritis, and male infertility, exploring their pathophysiology and clinical management. Advanced diagnostic tools, such as genomic and proteomic profiling, are discussed as key technologies in identifying biomarkers for early detection and treatment of reproductive health issues. Moreover, innovative therapies aimed at correcting hormonal imbalances and enhancing reproductive efficiency are examined, offering new solutions for managing infertility and improving breeding outcomes. This collection provides an in-depth understanding of the complex mechanisms driving reproductive health in animals and the clinical interventions that can mitigate reproductive disorders, ensuring sustainable and productive animal husbandry.
