Aims and Scopes

The journal 'Applied Animal Science' focuses on the application of scientific principles in animal production, health, nutrition, and welfare. It aims to disseminate research that enhances understanding and practices in the field of animal science, particularly in relation to livestock management and productivity.
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
The journal has also seen a rise in interest in several emerging themes that reflect current challenges and innovations in animal science. These trends indicate a shift towards more integrated and comprehensive approaches to research in the field.
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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

Over recent years, certain themes within 'Applied Animal Science' have shown a decline in frequency or prominence. This shift may reflect changing priorities in research focus or advancements in the field that render previous topics less relevant.
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Basic Economic Analyses:
    Basic economic analyses of livestock production are being replaced by more sophisticated models that integrate sustainability metrics and market dynamics.
