Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of veterinary medicine is undergoing continual evolution with advancements in understanding the pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of animal pharmaceuticals, a critical area for ensuring the effectiveness and safety of treatments. The scientific background of this terrain of study underscores the necessity of possessing a comprehensive knowledge of drug interactions, metabolism, and efficacy in diverse animals in order to operate effectively in this field. The efficacy and safety of animal pharmaceuticals hinge on their pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles. Pharmacokinetics explores drug behaviour within the body, while pharmacodynamics examines the resulting actions. With respect to food-producing animals, drug residues need to be considered to ensure food safety for humans.
This Special Issue aims to publish original research articles and reviews that contribute to our understanding of how animal pharmaceuticals interact with their physiology. The focus is on elucidating factors that influence drug effectiveness and safety across various animal species, fostering advancements in veterinary medicine.
We welcome your valuable contributions to this impactful Special Issue, where insights can bridge the gap between laboratory research and practical applications in veterinary medicine.
Dr. Glenys Noble
Guest Editor
