Vol.11 (2021)

In a world increasingly conscious of climate change, Volume 11 positions animal biotechnology as a crucial tool for mitigating livestock's environmental footprint. The research presented focuses on breeding strategies and genetic interventions to reduce enteric methane emissions, improve nitrogen utilization efficiency, and enhance overall sustainability. This volume features significant contributions on the development of novel feed additives and enzymes produced through biotechnological processes that can further reduce environmental impact. Additionally, the journal explores the potential of biotechnology to enhance animal resilience to climate-induced stressors, including heat stress and emerging diseases in new geographical ranges. The work published here reflects a growing consensus that biotechnology must be harnessed not only for productivity but for the ecological sustainability of animal agriculture.
