Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

The sustainable development of natural bioactive compounds/products in animal resources and agriculture science involves the cultivation, extraction, and utilization of natural compounds found in plants and animals for various applications. These compounds are often used in the fields of medicine, food, and cosmetics, among others. To achieve sustainable development in this area, it is important to adopt practices that promote the responsible use of resources, conservation of biodiversity, and reduction of waste. This can be achieved by:

Adopting sustainable farming practices: This involves the use of organic farming techniques, crop rotation, and the use of natural fertilizers to minimize the use of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers. This helps to preserve the natural habitats of plants and animals, reduce soil erosion, and maintain the soil's fertility.

Promoting biodiversity conservation: This can be achieved by encouraging the planting of diverse crops and promoting the use of natural pest control methods such as companion planting and the use of biological pest control agents. This helps to preserve the natural habitats of plants and animals and promotes genetic diversity.

Efficient extraction and processing of natural compounds: This involves the use of efficient extraction techniques that minimize waste and the use of renewable energy sources in the processing of natural compounds. This helps to reduce the environmental impact of the extraction and processing of natural compounds.

Developing innovative products and applications: This involves the development of innovative products and applications of natural compounds that have high value and contribute to the sustainable development of agriculture and animal resources. This can include the development of natural medicines, food additives, and cosmetic products, among others.

Overall, the sustainable development of natural bioactive compounds/products in animal resources and agriculture science involves adopting practices that promote environmental and social sustainability while maximizing the economic benefits of these natural resources. For this reason, it receives special attention in agricultural, commercial industries, and pharmaceutical applications. For this reason, it receives special attention in agricultural, commercial industries, and pharmaceutical applications. These Bioactive compounds are additional nutritional constituents found in small quantities in foods and provide health benefits beyond the basic nutritional value of the product.

This Topic welcomes publications which focus on any aspect of animals (pigs, cattle, aqua, poultry, rabbits, rats, etc.) in agricultural production systems, including immunology or nutrition, which increases animals’ resistance to infection and enhances their growth and production performances. In this Topic, we invite researchers to contribute their original or review articles on sustainable development of natural bioactive compounds/products in animals, agriculture, poultry, agronomy and fishery. Additionally, papers are welcome that focus on the potential bioactivities of extracted natural compounds and their potential biological applications in human welfare.
