Feeding Livestock for Health Improvement

Dear Colleagues,

Livestock health has always been the most important issue in animal production. The highly concentrated and intensive development of the livestock industry causes animals to suffer from various stresses and makes them more susceptible to diseases. At present, antibiotics are banned and restricted in animal feed globally, making livestock health problems more serious. Ensuring livestock health guarantees livestock productivity, product quality, and animal welfare. Several feeding and nutritional strategies, including, but not limited to, feed structure, nutrient composition, bio-active compounds, feeding mode, etc., aim to promote anti-oxidative and anti-inflammation capacities, regulate immune response, and enhance intestinal health to improve livestock health.

The goal of this Topic is to collect potential solutions for health improvement in livestock. Basic and practical studies investigating such solutions in livestock and animal models are welcome.
