Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The growing awareness of food consumers confronts us with new scientific challenges. Trends in food consumption show increased demand of high-quality food products, especially those of animal origin. Therefore, the main focus of food production is to create products that are not only the source of energy but first and foremost the safe source of nutrients and many bioactive compounds. This includes all strategies to enhance animal products quality, chemical composition and nutritional value as well as their functional properties, sensory properties and food safety.
The production of safe food of animal origin is based on the adequate nutrition of animals. There is no better way to improve the quality of milk, meat or eggs than through providing the animal with high-quality feed components in their diets. Years of experience has proved that nutritional interventions and their simultaneous impact with other factors, such as genetic selection, ensuring adequate hygienic and welfare conditions, affect the quality of animal food products.
This Special Issue aims to bring together the latest advances in improving the quality of animal food products. We kindly invite you to present the results of your work in improving the quality and safety of animal food products.
