The 10th Anniversary of Veterinary Sciences—Recent Advances in the Epidemiology of Cattle Health and Welfare

Dear Colleagues,

Cattle are a major source of high-value protein necessary to meet the increasing human population demand for food and income in communities worldwide. Sustainable cattle production necessitates healthy herds and animal welfare. To that end, the best management practices identified using epidemiological study designs and empirical and observational studies on all breeds and production stages of both dairy and beef cattle are paramount to advancing our knowledge.

The current Special Issue seeks to bring together researchers to share their research advances on the occurrence, risk factors, control, and prevention of cattle diseases and the conditions that affect animal welfare.

Scientists, clinicians, and extension and outreach specialists working on advancing cattle health and welfare are invited to submit their research in all areas concerning the health and welfare of dairy and beef cattle. Specifically, cattle management practices, infectious diseases, reproduction, nutrition, behavior, and welfare topics are welcome.
