Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes research on the nutrition, physiology, and management of small ruminants, including studies on feed additives, environmental impacts, and non-invasive monitoring techniques. Recent articles explore the effects of dietary interventions like Moringa oleifera silage and essential oils on lamb performance and emissions, the relationship between rangeland dynamics and goat herd mobility, and the use of infrared thermography to assess heat stress in sheep. Additionally, research investigates the molecular mechanisms of nutritional restriction on uterine physiology and the application of computer vision for estimating sheep body weight, alongside analyses of antibiotic residues in goat milk.
