Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A multidisciplinary approach is important for increasing collaboration and communication in animal husbandry and healthcare aspects. In this way, scientific disciplines such as animal morphology and histology can be part of this path toward advancing these sectors.
This Special Issue aims to combine synergies that could disclose unanswered questions and knowledge about various aspects of Livestock Veterinary Science. Even though the morphological sciences (Anatomy, Histology, Embryology), the forerunners of Veterinary Science, are not standing on the cutting edge of modern practice, they are always the core and frame of animal science and medicine.
In this context, using modern imaging techniques is a promising area of investigation. Furthermore, the modern imaging diagnosis, though well established in medical science, is still in its infancy in veterinary practice due to heavy initial investment and maintenance costs, lack of expert interpretation, requirement of specialized technical staff, and need for adjustable machines to accommodate the different range of animal sizes
I propose the Special Issue of "Advancements in Livestock Histology and Morphology", aiming to synergize and exchange scientific knowledge between basic and applied science. This Special Issue addresses the need to strengthen the flow and exchange of information between veterinary and medical sciences by publishing a selection of research articles from leading researchers in this field. Hopefully, this Special Issue will further stimulate collaboration between scientists engaged in all aspects of this field of research.
