Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Poultry raw materials, irrespective of their geographic origin, stand as one of the most prevalent sources of animal protein in the human diet. The expanding scope of production and ongoing breeding endeavors endows this field with significance not only from an economic standpoint but also from the perspective of scientific investigation. The multitude of factors influencing the quality of eggs and poultry meat ensures that research on this subject grows constantly, thereby yielding fresh insights into bird physiology, breeding and rearing practices, as well as the conditions related to bird welfare.
The Special Issue, ‘Enhancing Product Excellence in Poultry: Key Factors Influencing Egg and Meat Quality’ invites submissions of original research articles or comprehensive review papers on all aspects that may impact the quality of poultry raw materials. Areas of interest encompass a broad spectrum of topics, including bird husbandry and breeding, modifications in feed additives and feeding programs, bird welfare, and the chemical composition of meat and eggs. Additionally, we encourage papers addressing the less common avian species classified as poultry.
