Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent advances in genomics, high-throughput sequencing, and computational biology have significantly expanded the scope of veterinary research. The increasing availability of large-scale biological data has created new opportunities to better understand the genetic and molecular mechanisms that regulate animal physiology, disease development, and health management. Integrative bioinformatics provides powerful tools to analyze these complex datasets and to connect genomic information with functional biological processes.
By combining genomics and other omics data with computational analysis, researchers can identify key genes, molecular pathways, and regulatory networks that influence animal health, productivity, and disease resistance. These approaches are becoming increasingly important for improving disease diagnosis, understanding host–pathogen interactions, and supporting precision livestock management and modern breeding strategies.
This Special Issue aims to present recent developments in bioinformatics and computational approaches applied to veterinary physiology and animal health. We welcome original research articles and review papers that explore genomic analysis, multi-omics integration, systems biology, and other data-driven methods that contribute to a deeper understanding of animal biology and health.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Veterinary Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2100 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
