Subject: Paper Invitation: [Animals] Special Issue "Livestock Breeding
       in the Age of Digital Agriculture"
Date: Wed, 10 Jun 2020 11:50:46 -0500

Dear colleagues,

The journal Animals (ISSN 2076-2615; IF 1.832) is currently inviting
submissions for a Special Issue entitled “Livestock Breeding in the Age
of Digital Agriculture”

(https://www.mdpi.com/..._Livestock)

In an era of massive information digitization, modern farming technologies
and animal breeding systems produce massive amounts of data due in part to
the advent and ever reducing costs of genotyping and sequencing technologies.
High-performance computing approaches, efficient data acquisition,
warehousing and analytics combined with super-fast data transfer technologies
are under development. Data mining algorithms, statistical machine learning
and efficient mathematical optimization techniques for large matrix
operations are currently developed to face the current challenges related
to constructing genetic evaluation models based on genotypic, phenotypic
and sensor-based information from millions of animals and their farming
environments.

This Special Issue will consider how livestock breeding computational
approaches have adapted to face these challenges, how such approaches are
applied to current breeding problems and how they attempt to predict and
address future trends. Based on your expertise in this field, we think you
could make an excellent contribution. We send this friendly email to you
and would like to know if you are willing to join us and contribute one
paper in this Special Issue.

The submission deadline is Nov. 30, 2020. You may send your manuscript
now or up until the deadline. Submitted papers should not be under
consideration for publication elsewhere. Their acceptance will be subject
to our regular peer review processes. You can check suitability of your
manuscript by sending me a title and abstract in advance.

Animals is fully open access. Open access (unlimited and free access by
readers) increases publicity and promotes more frequent citations, as
indicated by several studies. Open access is supported by the authors
and their institutes.

The Article Processing Charges (APC) for accepted papers are CHF 1600.
You may be entitled to a discount if you have previously received a
discount code or if your institute is participating in the MDPI
Institutional Open Access Program (IOAP). For more information see:
http://www.mdpi.com/about/ioap. For further details on the submission
process, please see the instructions for authors at the journal website
(https://www.mdpi.com/journal/animals).

You can also send an email for any questions directly to me
(dtulpanuoguelph.ca).

We are looking forward to receiving your contributions!
