Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to announce a Special Issue of the high-ranking journal Metabolites that is focused on metabolic and endocrine changes as responses to stress and diseases during animal production.
Stress and diseases during animal production trigger numerous metabolic and endocrine responses influencing animal growth and performance, the quality of products of animal origin, and also animal welfare. In addition, these changes could have a great impact on public health, giving further importance to a One Health approach.
You are warmly welcome to submit a research article or a review paper relevant to the scopes of this Special Issue, which will highly contribute to a better understanding of complex metabolic pathways in different organs the including liver, adipose tissue, and mammary glands; host–pathogen interactions; the role of microbiome and the environmental impacts on animal production; and the influence of animal production on human health. Different novel techniques, including proteomics and metabolomics, could improve the knowledge on an intrigued metabolic network during stress and diseases in animal production.
