Vol.14 (2024)

As the field matures, Volume 14 emphasizes the translation of laboratory discoveries into commercially viable products and practices accessible to farmers worldwide. This collection features research on the scalability and cost-effectiveness of biotechnological interventions, acknowledging that adoption depends on economic viability as much as scientific merit. The journal publishes significant advances in our understanding of host-pathogen interactions at the molecular level, enabling the design of more effective control strategies for devastating livestock diseases like African swine fever and foot-and-mouth disease. Additionally, this volume highlights the growing role of biotechnology in addressing antimicrobial resistance, featuring studies on alternatives to conventional antibiotics, including antimicrobial peptides, bacteriophages, and immune modulators. The work presented demonstrates a field committed to delivering practical solutions for contemporary challenges.
