Advances In Natural Medicines, Nutraceuticals & Neurocognition

Animal Nutrition and Its Role in Health

Animal nutrition studies how animals' dietary intake impacts their health and productivity. This track will focus on the role of nutraceuticals in improving animal health, including the impact of omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and other natural compounds in livestock and companion animals. Topics may include how nutraceuticals help manage conditions like obesity, metabolic disorders, and inflammation in animals, and their potential use in veterinary medicine. Advances in animal nutrition research and its implications for human health (e.g., in zoonotic diseases) will also be covered. Additionally, this track will explore sustainable feeding practices that enhance animal welfare while improving the nutritional quality of animal-derived food products. Discussions will also highlight innovative approaches in precision feeding and microbiome modulation to optimize animal growth, immunity, and overall well-being.
