Applied Animal Science
Scope & Guideline
Innovating Solutions for Animal Well-being and Food Safety
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Animal Nutrition and Diet Formulation:
Research on the nutritional requirements of livestock, including the evaluation of feed ingredients, dietary supplements, and the effects of different feeding strategies on animal performance and health. - Animal Health and Disease Management:
Studies investigating the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases affecting livestock, including the use of antibiotics, vaccines, and management practices to improve animal health. - Production Systems and Management Practices:
Exploration of various production systems (e.g., pasture-based, feedlot) and management practices that optimize animal productivity, welfare, and economic viability. - Genetics and Breeding:
Research on genetic factors influencing animal performance, including studies on breeding strategies to enhance traits such as growth rate, feed efficiency, and disease resistance. - Sustainability and Environmental Impact:
Investigations into the sustainability of animal production systems, including the assessment of environmental impacts and the development of practices that reduce carbon footprints and enhance resource efficiency.
Trending and Emerging
- Precision Livestock Farming (PLF):
Research on the use of technology to monitor and manage livestock health and production in real-time is gaining traction, reflecting the increasing demand for data-driven management practices. - Alternative Protein Sources and Feed Additives:
There is a growing interest in the evaluation of non-traditional protein sources and feed additives that enhance animal performance while also addressing environmental sustainability. - Animal Welfare and Ethical Considerations:
Research focusing on the ethical treatment of animals and welfare implications of production practices is increasingly being prioritized, aligning with consumer concerns and societal expectations. - Sustainable Production Practices:
Studies examining the sustainability of animal production systems, including regenerative agriculture and carbon sequestration, are becoming more prominent as the industry seeks to mitigate its environmental impact. - Health and Nutrition Interactions:
Emerging research is increasingly focusing on the interactions between nutrition and health, particularly in how dietary strategies can enhance immune function and reduce disease prevalence.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Antibiotic Use:
Research focused on the use of traditional antibiotics in livestock has decreased as the industry moves towards alternative health management strategies and a reduction in antibiotic usage due to regulatory pressures and consumer demand. - Simple Feed Ingredient Comparisons:
Studies that solely compare basic feed ingredients without considering their interactions in complex diets are becoming less common as researchers aim for more comprehensive evaluations of animal nutrition. - General Welfare Studies:
While animal welfare remains important, the focus has shifted from general assessments to more specific studies that link welfare directly to productivity, health outcomes, and consumer preferences. - Conventional Breeding Methods:
The exploration of conventional breeding methods is waning as advancements in genetic technologies, such as genomics and gene editing, become more prominent in the literature. - Basic Economic Analyses:
Basic economic analyses of livestock production are being replaced by more sophisticated models that integrate sustainability metrics and market dynamics.
