Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In vitro fermentation is a critical technology for studying and evaluating feed nutritional value, nutrient metabolism mechanisms and fermentation states. In vitro fermentation includes simulated rumen in vitro fermentation, in vitro gas production, in vitro microbial fermentation, in vitro enzyme fermentation, combined two-step fermentation, etc. Over the years, in vitro fermentation has evaluated the feeding value of a large number of feeds to ruminants and monogastric animals such as swine. It not only enriches the feed database, but also makes an important contribution to the development and utilization of microbial resources and the improvement of the feed utilization rate.
Substrate, microorganism, enzyme and fermentation state are important elements of in vitro fermentation, and equipment and fermentation regulation of in vitro fermentation are also important guarantees for fermentation. Therefore, the goal of this Special Issue is to publish both recent innovative research results and review papers on in vitro fermentation with nutrients or new feed resources. Review and research papers on the development of novel enzymes, microbial strains and fermentation equipment are also of interest. If you would like to contribute a review paper, please contact one of the editors to discuss the relevance of the topic before submitting the manuscript.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Fermentation is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2100 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
