Nutraceuticals and Complementary Feeds in Veterinary Medicine and Reproduction

Abstract

Dear Colleagues, Dietary supplementation with nutraceuticals including herbs, fruits, vegetables, and vitamins has been used since ancient times to improve human and animal health by providing the optimal levels of nutrients according to the specific needs of body systems. Since the 1980s, dietary interventions have become a pillar in the multimodal management of health conditions in domestic animals. The present Special Issue addresses the most recent research on nutraceuticals in all aspects of veterinary medicine. We warmly welcome the contribution of original research papers, review articles, and short communications concerning the use of nutraceuticals and complementary feeds to manage medical conditions as wells as to improve performance and reproductive efficiency both in small and large domestic animal species. Additional topics regarding the discovery of target conditions that could benefit from dietary supplementation are also welcome
