| Abstract: | In science, as well as in other fields, gender equality is essential to ensure sustainable development as highlighted by UNESCO. Despite the growing number of women in science, globally we are still a minority, with <30% of researchers being women. If we focus on animal science, women make up only 40% of researchers (https://www.zippia.com/animal-scientist-jobs/demographics/) and, therefore, girls and women should be encouraged to pursue scientific careers.
The field of Animal Nutrition and Metabolism is broad and includes a number of important aspects, essential to understanding and promoting animal production and health. Moreover, and since animals may act as models, studies on animal nutrition and metabolism are also of major relevance for advances in human physiology and health. |
