Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Animal production relies heavily on intestinal health and functioning to maximize nutrient uptake and growth, which in turn is associated with animal performance. The tractable strategies targeting the regulation of intestinal microbiota can control several diseases that are closely related to inflammatory and metabolic disorders. Additionally, secret killers in animal such as dysbiosis, leaky gut, heat stress, mycotoxins, endotoxins, and dietary factors (oxidized diet) cause chronic stress that is usually associated with oxidative stress and inflammatory damage in animal. Both oxidative stress and inflammation are multistage processes, and it is possible that the immune system is somehow involved, which impairs animal performance.
In this Special Issue of Veterinary Sciences, we would like to invite authors to submit original manuscripts with the proposed topics. Submissions of original research, reviews of the current scientific literature, including systematic reviews and meta-analyses, and short reports is welcomed. We believe that this Special Issue on “Nutraceuticals to Mitigate the Secret Killers in Animals” will highlight the most recent advances in in vitro and in vivo applications of nutraceuticals such as phytogenic substances, prebiotics, and probiotics to mitigate the secret killers in animal. Additionally, we expect that this Special Issue will explore the mechanism of action as well as the challenges and prospects of nutraceutical applications.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Veterinary Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2100 CHF (Swiss Francs).
