Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Understanding metabolic and endocrine processes in ruminants is crucial to many processes relevant to production, animal productivity, and health. Ruminant species are important globally for food (such as milk and meat) and fiber (such as wool) production. Advances are required in our understanding of energy and protein metabolism, endocrine control, metabolic signaling, and homeorhetic and homeostatic controls, as well as inflammation and immune responses. This includes the broader areas of nutrition, digestion, and digestive physiology, understanding the nutritional states of animals, comparisons between ruminant species, nutritional deficiencies, nutritional supplements and novel feeds, and their impact on metabolism and physiology. Progress in these topics will allow further understanding of how ruminants can be supported, for example, through genetic selection or nutritional interventions, to ensure that their maximal production capacity can be achieved. Considering the success of our previous Special Issue, we are pleased to launch “Metabolic and Endocrine Regulation in Ruminants: Second Edition”. For this Special Issue, we are seeking contributions that advance ideas regarding all elements of ruminant metabolism and endocrinology. We welcome the submission of novel research papers and literature reviews.
