About the Collection

Animal Microbiome is calling for submissions to our Collection on 'Advancements in Probiotics: Harnessing Microbial Communities for Sustainable food production.'

This Collection aims to compile cutting-edge research on the utilization of probiotics in farming and aquaculture, focusing on their role in enhancing animal health and productivity while promoting sustainable practices. We invite contributions across disciplines, including microbiology, veterinary sciences, aquaculture science, ecology, biotechnology, and environmental engineering, to explore topics such as novel probiotic strains, mechanisms of action, application methods, performance evaluation, microbial ecology, environmental impact, and commercialization.
