Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cattle is a major livestock species that has been genetically improved by statistical breeding and molecular technologies such as genomic selection, next-generation sequencing, gene editing, etc. However, the livestock industry still faces challenging issues such as increasing demand for meat products, as well as GHGs (greenhouse gases) emissions and animal disease. Therefore, we launched the Special Issue ‘Application of Molecular Markers and Major Genes in the Genetic Improvement of Cattle’. These issues could provide insight into the application, effect and discovery of molecular markers and genes related with various phenotypes to livestock science and industry.

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. Animals is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
