Veterinary Reproductive Physiology, Endocrinology, Management and Diseases

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

Reproductive efficiency is one of the main pillars supporting sustainable livestock production, directly impacting productivity, animal welfare, and profitability. Understanding the physiological and endocrine mechanisms that govern reproduction, as well as the pathogenesis and management of reproductive disorders, is essential for advancing veterinary medicine and animal production systems. This Topic is dedicated to exploring the most recent findings and innovations in reproductive physiology, endocrinology, and diseases affecting livestock species, with a strong focus on cattle. Given the global economic importance of bovine reproduction, this Topic welcomes studies related to folliculogenesis, oocyte maturation, embryo development, gamete cryopreservation, reproductive biotechnologies, and the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of reproductive diseases in both female and male animals. We also encourage the submission of high-quality studies involving other farm animals, such as pigs, sheep, goats, and horses, particularly those addressing comparative physiology, endocrine regulation, and clinical reproductive issues. Interdisciplinary approaches involving molecular biology, biotechnology, pathology, epidemiology, and clinical veterinary science are especially welcome. Our aim is to highlight innovative and impactful research that will help shape the next generation of reproductive technologies and improve the reproductive health of livestock around the world.
