- the use of functional feed additives to improve animal production;
- microbiota; nutraceuticals;
- alternative feed for livestock species;
- animal breeding and genetics;
- the effects of animal feeding on environmental impacts;
- the use of feed and food by-products in animal diet;
- the influence of diet and rearing systems on animal performance and products quality;
- and feed technology.
