Animal Bioscience

Animal Bioscience (AB) aims to publish original and cutting-edge research results and reviews on animal-related aspects of the life sciences. Emphasis will be placed on studies involving farm animals such as cattle, buffaloes, sheep, goats, pigs, horses, and poultry.

Animal Bioscience will encompass all areas of animal production and fundamental aspects of animal sciences: breeding and genetics, reproduction and physiology, nutrition, dairy and meat science, biotechnology, behavior, health, welfare and livestock farming systems.

Animal Bioscience is subdivided into 10 sections.
● Animal Breeding and Genetics: quantitative and molecular genetics, genomics, genetic evaluation, evolution of domestic animals, and bioinformatics

● Animal Reproduction and Physiology: physiology of reproduction, development, growth, lactation, and exercise; and gamete biology

● Ruminant Nutrition and Forage Utilization: rumen microbiology and function, ruminant nutrition, physiology and metabolism, and forage utilization

● Swine Nutrition and Feed Technology: swine nutrition and physiology; evaluation of feeds, feed additives, and feed processing technology

● Poultry and Laboratory Animal Nutrition: nutrition and physiology of poultry and other non-ruminant animals

● Animal Products: dairy and meat science, muscle biology, food safety, food security, and functional foods

● Animal Biotechnology: molecular nutrition, transgenic animals, identification and manipulation of genes

● Animal Health: immune modulation, nutritional immunology, infection and immunity, stress responses, vaccines and therapeutics

● Animal Behavior and Welfare: social and sexual behavior and animal welfare

● Environment and Management: livestock waste management, livestock and environment, and livestock farming system
