There is a growing body of work focused on the ethical aspects of animal husbandry, including welfare assessments, social implications of farming practices, and consumer perceptions. - Genomic and Molecular Approaches:
The use of genomic and molecular tools to enhance breeding programs and understand the genetic basis of traits related to health, productivity, and environmental adaptability is on the rise. - Microbiome Research:
An increasing number of studies are investigating the role of the microbiome in animal health, nutrition, and production efficiency, highlighting its importance in livestock management.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Breeding Practices:
There is a noticeable decline in publications focused solely on traditional breeding practices, as the field increasingly shifts towards genomic selection and precision breeding techniques. - Single-species Management Studies:
Research centered on single species management is becoming less prominent; the journal is moving towards more integrative studies that address multi-species interactions and ecosystem management. - Basic Animal Physiology:
Basic physiological studies, while still important, are being overshadowed by applied research focusing on practical outcomes related to animal welfare, production efficiency, and environmental sustainability. - Conventional Feed Formulations:
Research on conventional feed formulations is waning as there is a growing emphasis on alternative feeds, such as insect-based and plant-derived supplements that promote sustainability. - Veterinary Pharmacology:
The focus on traditional veterinary pharmacology topics is decreasing, likely due to the rise of alternative health management strategies and the emphasis on reducing antibiotic use in livestock.
