About

The gut microbiota influences health and disease susceptibility and has emerged as a major field of study in the animal sciences. A stable microbiome, host metabolism, energy production, nutrient digestion and absorption, mucus layer formation, barrier function, and mucosal immune responses are all necessary for an animal to function physiologically and in accordance with its highest genetic potential.

Numerous physiological and functional components make up gut health. Any interference with the early gut microbiota's (both of intestinal and ruminal) development has an impact on the host's performance and the viability of livestock animals. In this regard, the Research Topic on the impacts, approach and results on gut health and the ability to regulate animal production and welfare.

This topic welcomes publications which focus on any aspect of animals (pigs, cattle, poultry, rabbits, rats, fish, etc.) in agricultural production systems, including immunology or nutrition, which increases animals’ resistance to infection and enhances their gut health and production performances. In this Special Issue, we invite researchers to contribute their original or review articles. Additionally, new concepts for data analysis and bioinformatic tools are also encouraged, such as feed omics, microbiome, metabolomics, and proteomics.

We welcome the submissions of all types of manuscripts covering, but not limited to, the following areas:
• Progress in gut health research for food animal production
• Metabolic modulation of nutrients in the development and health of livestock production
• Natural resources to enhance gut barrier function and health
• Gut microbiota – host interactions, and performance-related traits in monogastric and ruminant animals.
• Encapsulation protected feed additives on gut health performances.
