Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Three themes should be included in this Special Issue:
1) The impact of environmental metabolites of pesticides on animal reproduction processes, especially as “orphan receptor” ligands.
2) The problem of microplastics. This has been noticed, but it seems that, still, too little attention is paid to studying the mechanisms of its harmful effects on living organisms.
3) The interactions of xenobiotics and substances of natural origin (phytoestrogens, mycotoxins, etc.) that may occur simultaneously in feed and food are poorly documented.
Although there is quite a large body of research on the subject, it mostly concerns laboratory animals. Some were performed on farm animals and only a few were performed on species accompanying humans and wild species. From the point of view of veterinary medicine, there are also few descriptions of specific cases of the action of various xenobiotics encountered by both veterinarians and scientists studying this problem.

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. Veterinary Sciences 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 2600 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.
