Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The metabolites in biological fluids provide unique insights into metabolic changes occurring within the organism. Among the “omics” techniques, metabolomic analysis allows us to detect and quantify metabolites representing the end products of complex interactions between genes and the environment. The untargeted detection of all metabolites in biofluids gives important information about physiological processes occurring in healthy organisms. At the same time, applying a metabolomic approach to disease has great potential for identifying specific molecules or metabolomic profiles acting as biomarkers of pathological conditions. In recent years, metabolomics has been successfully applied to analyze non-invasive biofluids, including respiratory fluids, saliva, urine, and seminal plasma, highlighting promising results in several human and veterinary medicine fields.
The present Special Issue addresses the most recent research concerning the application of metabolomic analysis as a diagnostic tool and emerging biomarkers in equine medicine and reproduction. We welcome the contribution of original research papers, review articles, and short communications. Additional topics about the possible use of metabolomics in donkey and mule medicine are also welcome.

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. Metabolites 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 2700 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.
