Nutritional Technology in Animal Feed Science and Technology A Special Issue of Animal Feed Science & Technology on Nutritional Technology is planned to be published early in 2006. Nutritional Technology deals with the relationship between the manipulation of feedstuffs or diets by technology and the resulting nutritional properties for livestock or companion animals. Nutritional properties may include subjects such as availability of nutrients, functional properties, intake structure and bite, and rate and place of digestion. The journal Animal Feed Science and Technology wishes therefore to recognise specific subjects dealing with the metabolic and production responses to dietary inputs varied through methods of conservation, (thermal or chemical) methods for processing, and manufacturing of diet ingredients or complete feeds. The editors of Animal Feed Science and Technology are, therefore, issuing a call for abstracts on the topic of ‘‘Nutritional Technology’’. Authors of accepted abstracts will be asked to submit a full-length paper for review for inclusion in a Special Issue of the journal, with Guest Editors Thomas van der Poel, Martin Verstegen (Wageningen University, The Netherlands) and Hank Classen (University of Saskatchewan, Canada). Review and original papers that describe processing techniques (and their variables) in relation to the evaluation of the technology in the animal or in vitro are welcome. Authors of accepted abstracts will be asked to pay attention in their discussions to the relevance of the technology with respect to the natural nutrition or feeding behaviour of the animal. Authors are asked in first instance to submit a title and brief abstract of their paper (< 300 words; one page) to either Thomas (
[email protected]) or Hank (
[email protected]) by mid-May 2005. The Title/Abstract may be submitted in electronic form. Authors of accepted manuscripts will be contacted to submit their full paper. The timeframe for receipt of manuscripts that will constitute the Special Issue is mid-July 2005.
