Special Issue Information
Dear Colleague,
Ensuring the optimal health of monogastric animals is imperative to enhance production efficiency, improve animal welfare, and ultimately meet the demands of global food security within a sustainable framework. Certainly, proper nutrition and well-planned feeding strategies are essential to achieve success in this task. By providing balanced diets tailored to precisely meet animal nutritional requirements, producers can maximize nutrient-use efficiency and elevate the quality of derived animal products while concurrently mitigating adverse environmental impacts; however, feed may have an even more significant impact. Certain feed constituents have the potential to improve gut health, modulate immune responses, diminish disease prevalence, and mitigate antibiotic use.
This Special Issue provides space for original research papers that address the use of nutritional strategies, functional ingredients, or feed additives to maximize the health of monogastric animals. Papers addressing strategies to reduce the use of antibiotics or novel techniques to assess the effects of nutritional health solutions (such as gut health biomarkers) are also invited.
