Nutriomics, gut health and sustainable swine production
20 Jan 2025 to 30 May 2025

Scope of This Special Issue

Research on sustainable swine production spans a wide range of disciplines, from molecular biology to physiology to gut health and translational research to swine nutrition. This special issue attempts to include comprehensively, for practicing nutritionist and scientists alike, our current understanding of how nutrition interacts with intestinal microbiota as well as environment-exogenous factors in swine, including physical activity or the lack thereof, to result in gut health and sustainable production. We certainly hope that the efforts to improve our knowledge in these areas. Animal Nutriomics is inviting critical reviews, original research, and methodology manuscript submissions for this special issue.

 

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

- Microbial ecology in growing-finishing swine
- Amino acids, proteins, and gut health in swine
- Nitrogen utilization and gut health in swine
- Interaction of carbohydrates, lipids, vitamins, minerals or feed additives and gut health in swine production
- Improving the efficiency of nutrient use on sustainable swine production
- Application of high-throughput technologies such as metagenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics to elucidate the mechanism of sustainable swine production.

Keywords:

Swine nutrition, amino acids, protein, nitrogen, carbohydrate, lipid, vitamin, mineral, feed additive, microbial ecology, gut health, multi-omics analysis
