Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The Special Issue of this journal addresses the critical goal of "Sustainable Animal Agriculture" amidst prevalent misinterpretations of sustainability. It focuses on evidence-based strategies to enhance sustainable animal production and evaluates their impact on key factors such as animal product quality, profitability, and environmental sustainability. By providing rigorous scientific scrutiny, this Special Issue aims to elucidate pathways toward genuine sustainability in animal agriculture, balancing the needs of consumers, profits, and the planet.
