Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Due to sensory and nutritional benefits, products of animal origin have always been very popular among consumers. Especially in the last decade, there have been many dietary trends (paleo, keto) in which good-quality animal products are essential to such a diet. Still, many factors, such as the animal breed, nutrition, welfare and growth conditions, influence the quality of animal-derived raw materials. The adaptation of various animal species (both the restoration of old breeds and the use of new ones) to obtain milk or meat also confronts scientists with new challenges.
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue focused on animal-derived food. We are open to incorporating interdisciplinary or transdisciplinary research to provide an integrated understanding of the role of animal breed, welfare and diet, and their relationships with milk and meat quality.
This Special Issue will be focused on recent research that investigates novel approaches to monitor the meat and milk quality of farmed, captive, or wild animals with particular emphasis on the role of diet, welfare and breed. We kindly invite you to present original papers as well as reviews.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
