Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The management of inflammation and infectious diseases is a major concern for animal production. The use of antibiotics has been prohibited or strictly restricted to prevent the occurrence of bacteria that have antimicrobial resistances. Numerous products have been developed to replace antibiotics in animal production; their efficacy needs to be clarified more in terms of the underlying mechanisms and their impact on lesion recovery. This Special Issue focuses on the management of inflammation and infectious diseases using pre-, pro-, and synbiotics as well as metabolic substrates in non-ruminant animals to better understand how they are controlled without antibiotics. This Special Issue welcomes studies using those additives alone, as well as comparison studies utilizing synthetic antibiotics.
