Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes research on animal science, focusing on livestock nutrition, feed efficiency, and the impact of dietary components on animal performance and health. Studies investigate the effects of various feed ingredients, feed restriction, and supplementation on growth, nutrient digestibility, and physiological markers in pigs, lambs, beef cattle, and sows. The scope also includes research on animal management practices, such as weaning strategies, trace mineral supplementation, and water quality, as well as their influence on productivity and health. Additionally, the journal covers aspects of animal genetics, welfare, meat quality, and environmental impacts like greenhouse gas emissions.
