Animal Production Science

Animal Production Science is an international, interdisciplinary journal with a focus on improving livestock and food production, and on the social and economic issues that influence livestock production systems. Papers span traditional animal science to genomics and precision agriculture and examine the societal role of animal agriculture in the provision of a healthy human diet and a sustainable environment. The journal is predominantly concerned with domesticated livestock (beef cattle, dairy cows, sheep, pigs, goats and poultry); however, contributions on horses, deer, and fish will be considered where relevant. Animal Production Science publishes the highest quality original contributions and critical reviews dealing with, but not limited to: Genomics, genetics and animal breeding Physiology, endocrinology and reproduction Animal nutrition and metabolism Feed quality, nutritional value and toxicology Livestock farming systems, sustainability and natural resource management Rural development and livestock systems in transition Meat science, product quality and consumer acceptability Behaviour, health and welfare Bio-pharmaceuticals derived from animals Technology and education
