Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Building on the success of our previous Special Issues on "Oxidative Stress and its Impact on Livestock and Poultry Production", we are excited to announce the launch of our third issue for the year 2024–2025. As the field of oxidative stress research continues to evolve, we find ourselves at the forefront of groundbreaking discoveries that have profound implications for livestock and poultry production.
Recent advancements have highlighted the intricate interplay between oxidative stress and various physiological processes in livestock and poultry. Beyond the well-documented impacts on feed intake, feed conversion ratio, disease resistance, and mortality, emerging research has uncovered the role of oxidative stress in modulating the gut microbiome, influencing metabolic pathways, and even affecting the epigenetic landscape of livestock species. These findings suggest that oxidative stress not only poses direct challenges to livestock health and productivity, but also has long-term implications for the sustainability of animal husbandry practices.
This Special Issue will delve into the latest research exploring these multifaceted relationships. We are particularly interested in contributions that address: (1) oxidative stress and gut microbiome dynamics; (2) oxidative stress: metabolic and epigenetic alterations; (3) innovative strategies to mitigate oxidative stress; and (4) environmental and management-induced oxidative stress.
We invite researchers from diverse disciplines to contribute original research articles and reviews that will advance our understanding of oxidative stress in livestock and poultry production. Your contributions will play a critical role in shaping future research directions and informing practical solutions to enhance animal welfare and productivity.
We look forward to receiving your valuable submissions and continuing our collaboration in this rapidly advancing field.
