Authors may use MDPI'sĮnglish editing service prior to publication or during author revisions. Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs). Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. Animals is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form.
Manuscripts should be submitted online at by registering and logging in to this website. Additional topics may include the translation of animal exposure to trace elements into human health, effects of trace element deficiencies and potentially harmful trace elements accumulation.
We invite original research papers that deal with the role of trace elements in the health and metabolism of various animal species. Trace elements were investigated mainly in liver and kidney because these organs are the main target for their accumulation. Most data relate only to three essential metals (Zn, Cu, and Fe) and one non-essential (Cd) metal. Traditionally, research in the field of trace element biology and animal health has largely depended on epidemiological methods that demonstrate involvement in biological processes. The essentiality and toxicity of these elements have been extensively investigated in humans, laboratory animal models, and partially in domestic animals, while little is known about the other roles and metabolism of trace elements in various animal species. The role of trace elements in animal health and metabolism has attracted increasing interest in recent years.
