Proteomics and Metabolomics in Veterinary and Animal Health

Dear Colleagues,

Omics sciences have infiltrated all scientific areas of research over the past few years. As such, proteomics and metabolomics have also been widely explored in veterinary medicine research, showing their full potential in deciphering various pathophysiological processes in animal health and disease at the molecular level. By applying advanced bioinformatic and statistical tools, the integration of multiomics data provides deeper insights into biological pathways and complex molecular interplay, highlighting the key molecules of interest from diagnostic, prognostic, and drug development perspectives. Furthermore, given the ethical concerns of animals as animal models, as well as animal welfare, the omics approach in veterinary medicine can provide a significant contribution to physiopathology studies for human diseases as part of comparative medicine.

This Special Issue is devoted to topics covering (not exclusively) studies on the application of metabolomics or multiomics layers, namely various proteomic and metabolomics strategies, combined with statistical models and/or bioinformatics approaches in animal health and disease. We strongly encourage you to share your valuable findings in this topic and contribute to the development of new analytical strategies, databases, and bioinformatics workflows in animal research and finally to animal welfare.

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-anonymized 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.
