2025 IEEE International Workshop on Measurements and Applications in Veterinary and Animal Sciences, PISA - ITALY / APRIL 28-30, 2025
This session aims to discuss the urgent need for comprehensive studies on micro and nanoplastics within livestock systems, emphasizing the importance of developing standardized methods for their detection and quantification. By addressing these challenges, we can better understand the implications of plastic contamination for animal health and food safety, paving the way for effective mitigation strategies in the livestock industry.
Special Topic: Livestock and Microplastics
Special Topic: Livestock and Microplastics
(The deadline of submission: 20th May 2025)
(The deadline of submission: 20th May 2025)
To summarize, in this topic, authors are strongly invited to work on the following:
The issue of microplastics in the livestock sector (environment, husbandry, feeds, foods, and health).
Simple and innovative MP detection and measurement methods that are suitable for livestock matrices (feeds, animals, animal products, urine, manure, etc.).
Studies on possible strategies for the prevention of and reduction in MP contaminants in livestock and farms.
Studies on the potential ability of rumen and gut microbiota to degrade MPs and other strategies.

Valorization of Agri-Food Waste Bioresources for Sustainable Livestock Feeding
Valorization of Agri-Food Waste Bioresources for Sustainable Livestock Feeding
(The deadline of submission: 31st May 2025 and 25th Jun 2025)
(The deadline of submission: 31st May 2025 and 25th Jun 2025)
This Special Issue aims to explore the potential benefits and challenges of using agri-food waste bioresources in animal feed, investigate the way they are incorporated into the diet, and explore innovative approaches to improve their use in animal nutrition and to promote the sustainability of the livestock sector. We welcome interdisciplinary studies from different research areas, including agriculture and animal science, and invite contributions in various formats, including original research and reviews.
