Stress Biomarkers in Aquatic Organisms

The assessment of stress in animals is essential in both farmed and wild environments due to chronic stress conditions being able to undermine the health of animals, reduce their welfare and their ability to reproduce.
Aquatic organisms are not exempt from this and, indeed, studies indicate that there are many factors and conditions that can induce a state of stress in these animals. It is, therefore, essential to identify biomarkers capable of recording this altered state, the use of even non-invasive biological matrices and alternative simple methods applicable in the field would also be preferable. With this collection, we would, therefore, like to collect articles presenting innovative and ready-to-use acute and chronic stress biomarkers to be used in fish, crustaceans and mollusks for the evaluation of animals in natural and farmed conditions.

Agriculture Special Issue "Sustainable Feeding and Management of Ruminants for High Reproduction Efficiency"

This message comes from Dr. Giovanni Molle and Dr. Fiammetta Berlinguer, the Guest Editors of the Special Issue“Sustainable Feeding and Management of Ruminants for High Reproduction Efficiency’ in our journal, Agriculture (IF = 2.925, http://www.mdpi.com/journal/agriculture). The Special Issue is open to receive submissions for peer-review and possible publication. The current Submissions deadline is 30 March 2022, but it is negotiable if you need more time to prepare the manuscript.

This special edition is dedicated to the latest developments in the field of sustainable feeding and management aimed at increasing reproductive efficiency in ruminants.

Contributed papers should entail the environmental and/or economic implications of the feeding/management under study. All papers should report animal reproductive performance measured with sound scientific methodologies.

The following are some of the topics proposed for this Special Issue (but not limited to):

  • Effects of feeding based on local resources (including forage and non-forage plants)
  • Effects of feeding based on agro-industrial by-products;
  • Sustainable planning and monitoring of reproduction efficiency;
  • Bio-markers of reproduction efficiency;
  • Environmental/economic impact of practices aimed at improving reproduction efficiency;
  • Cost and benefit of focus feeding at mating and during pregnancy.

If you are actively doing research in one of these topics, I kindly invite you to submit a paper for our SI (special issue). If it's published, we will also disseminate the paper through several media. Would you be interested in contributing to our SI?
