Proteomics, like other post-genomics tools, has been growing at a rapid pace and has important applications in numerous fields of science. While its use in animal and veterinary sciences is still limited, there have been considerable advances in this field in recent years, in areas as diverse as physiology, nutrition and food of animal origin processing. This is mainly as a consequence of a wider availability and better understanding of proteomics methodologies by animal and veterinary researchers. This book provides a comprehensive, state-of-the-art account of the status of farm-animal proteomics research, focusing on the principles behind proteomics methodologies and its specific applications and offering clear example.

André M. de Almeida obtained a Degree in Animal Science by the University of Évora (1998), an MSc in Tropical Veterinary Medicine by the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine (Lisbon, 2000) and a PhD in Biology by the Instituto de Tecnologia Química e Biológica (ITQB, 2005). AM Almeida was a Researcher at the Instituto de Investigação Científica Tropical (Lisboa, Portugal) from 2000-15 and was Professor of Animal Production at Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine in St. Kitts (West Indies) from 2015-2016. He is currently Professor in the fields of Animal Nutrition, Feeding and Ruminant Production at the Agronomy Institute of the University of Lisbon (Portugal). AM Almeida has worked in South Africa, Spain and Australia. His research interests are vast but are mainly dedicated to studies in the Physiology, Disease and Production of Farm Animals, using Proteomics and Mass Spectrometry. AM Almeida participate(d) in seven national Research projects (six Portuguese and one Australian) and was awarded with a visiting Scientist Research grant from the government of the State of Western Australia (Perth, WA, Australia). Further, he was Vice-Chair of COST action FA1002 - Proteomics in Farm Animals, financed by the European Science Foundation. AM Almeida has published 13 international book chapters (including one edited by the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations) and over 60 papers in international peer- reviewed journals. AM Almeida is presently an associated editor of Tropical Animal Health and Production (Springer) and was an invited editor of the Journal of Proteomics (Elsevier). He is a regular reviewer for major Proteomics and Animal Science journals. AM Almeida was invited to lecture several oral presentations in Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Norway, Turkey, Austria, The United States, Australia and New Zealand, among others.
