Innovative Production Strategies for High-Quality, Traditional Pig Products
In a number of European countries (e.g., Spain, Italy, France, Portugal, Slovenia, Croatia, Poland), a portion of the pig sector is aimed at the production of traditional and certified products (e.g., PDO—Protected Designation of Origin, PGI—Protected Geographical Indication). Dry-cured ham is probably the most famous traditional pork product; however, typical pork products are produced in (and exported to) many countries worldwide. The meat used for producing these high-quality delicacies needs to be suitable for seasoning and dry-curing, and these characteristics are the result of complex interactions between the animal (breed, genotype, rearing condition, feeding regime, age and weigh...
Reviews in Animal Welfare
Animal welfare research is growing, although some topics have been studied more in deep than others. Pet species and farm animal welfare are better studied than exotic and wildlife species. However, there are still many gaps in knowledge related to animal welfare. For instance, there is still the need to understand how to measure positive welfare, or how to aggregate the different feelings and experiences that an animal feels during the different stages of life. New technologies have been proposed to monitor the welfare of animals providing more objective data, but there are still very few tools that have been validated. This Research Topic aims to collect reviews of the literature on animal welfare topics, related to all species, from companion animals to livestock, and from laboratory animals to wild animals. The invited reviews, metanalysis of the literature, should highlight the acquired knowledge and the current gaps of knowledge within this field. Our main goal is to identify which topics were devoted more scientific attention in recent years concerning animal welfare and identify which topics are still overlooked by current research.
Nutrition Regulation and Stress in Ruminant
Stress is an abnormal response of the organism to external environmental stimuli. In the process of breeding production, animals will show various stress reactions due to changes in their physiological functions, environmental conditions, and management levels. Transportation, high temperature, cold, and other stressors could induce protective reactions in the animal body, showing obvious physiological metabolic disorders and non-specific immune dysfunction, disrupting the physiological processes of nutrient metabolism, digestion and absorption, and immune defense, and ultimately leading to a decrease in production performance and feed conversion rate.
Poultry Feeding, Nutrition, and Quality in the Post-Antibiotic Era
In the post-antibiotic era, the poultry industry is facing several challenges such as global warming, high-stocking density, and the need for cost-effective diets. It is also experiencing various stressors, including heat stress, contagious diseases, and feed mycotoxins contamination. These challenges stunt poultry growth and cause many physiological disorders. Furthermore, global food security requires increasing poultry productivity over the coming years with a special emphasis on reducing environmental impacts.
The Role of Nutritional Strategies in the Regulation of Gut Microbiota and Host Immune System
The gut microbiota not only plays important roles in many metabolic pathways, but it also provides the host with a variety of functions that promote immune homeostasis, immune responses, and prevent pathogen colonization. The gut microbiota, as well as their metabolites and components, are required for immune homeostasis and influence host susceptibility to a wide range of immune-mediated diseases and disorders. The composition of the gut microbiota influences immune system development and modulates immune mediators, which in turn affects the function of the intestinal barrier. To this end, This Research Topic aims to present and discuss the most recent evidence on the role of nutritional strategies in regulating gut microbiota and host immune system, which will assist in understanding how nutritional strategies can promote immunity homeostasis and intestinal barrier function via the gut microbiota.
Insights in Veterinary Pharmacology and Toxicology: 2023
We are now entering the third decade of the 21st Century, and, especially in the last years, the achievements made by scientists have been exceptional, leading to major advancements in the fast-growing field of Veterinary Pharmacology and Toxicology. Frontiers has organized a series of Research Topics to highlight the latest advancements in research across the specialty of Veterinary Pharmacology and Toxicology, with articles from the members of our accomplished Editorial Boards. This editorial initiative of particular relevance, led by Dr. Arturo Anadón, Specialty Chief Editor of the Veterinary Pharmacology and Toxicology section, is focused on new insights, novel developments, new tools f...
