Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The expected increase in meat and dairy product consumption due to population growth makes livestock housing, as a source of gaseous emissions, an increasing concern, due to its contribution to climate change. The generation rates of this kind of pollution vary with a number of variables such as outside climate conditions, housing systems, livestock building structure and equipment, ventilation systems, manure handling systems, growing cycles, animal diets, animal species, and farmer’s barn management. Therefore, it is of high scientific relevance to investigate those relations and improve strategies for reducing GHG emissions from livestock buildings by applying smart farming technologies.
This Special Issue welcomes original contributions from researchers, including reviews and original research, that apply innovative methods and technologies, and address issues of scientific relevance in the following broad areas: measurement techniques, protocols, and methodological frameworks regarding the quantification of GHG emissions from livestock systems; methods, techniques, and strategies for reducing GHG emissions from livestock production systems

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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. Agriculture is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
