Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Food security and environmental protection significantly impact the sustainable development of global livestock production. The exploration and utilization of unconventional feed resources can lessen the competition between humans and animals for food and enhance the efficiency of using raw feed materials. Furthermore, it improves the pig feed's nutrient digestion and absorption efficiency, thereby reducing the excretion of nutrients (such as nitrogen and phosphorus). This reduction, in turn, aids in treating and utilizing manure, promoting environmental protection. An accurate evaluation of raw materials and dietary strategies (such as low protein diets, enzyme supplementation, pre-processing of feeds or ingredients, and liquid fermented feed) plays a crucial role in achieving these benefits.
Therefore, to explore the topics mentioned above, we announce a Special Issue concentrating on “Exploration of Sustainable Feed Resources and Pig Dietary Strategies”, and research paper and literature review submissions are welcome.
