Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Milk and dairy products contain biologically active compounds, such as high-quality proteins, vitamins, minerals and fatty acids that have been proven to have beneficial effects on human nutrition, metabolism and health. Due to their exceptional nutritive and organoleptic properties, these products occupy a prominent position in consumer preferences and retain the interest of the food industry. However, the traditional view of their role has been greatly expanded in recent years, since much attention has been paid to developing dairy products with physiological functions that fortify human health. An interesting challenge for scientists in the field of animal science is the introduction of novel feeding strategies that could promote ruminal function, enhance animal health and welfare status, increase production yield, improve quality of milk and dairy products and prolong their shelf life by minimizing environmental burden and production costs. This Special Issue welcomes original research papers and review articles on the development of novel feeding strategies to improve milk and dairy quality characteristics.
