    The integration of technology in monitoring and managing livestock health and productivity is an emerging theme, with studies focusing on data analytics, sensors, and automation in farming.
  4. Functional Foods and Nutraceuticals in Animal Diets:
    Research on the use of functional foods and nutraceuticals to enhance animal health and productivity is gaining traction, highlighting the importance of diet in livestock management.
  5. Ethno-Veterinary Practices:
    There is an increasing interest in exploring traditional and local veterinary practices, particularly in the context of sustainable animal health management and community-based approaches.

Declining or Waning

While the Indian Journal of Animal Sciences has maintained a broad scope, certain research areas have seen a decline in publication frequency. This may reflect shifts in research focus or changing priorities in the field.
  1. Traditional Breeding Practices:
    There has been a noticeable decline in research focused on conventional breeding practices, as the field has shifted more towards genetic innovations and molecular breeding techniques.
  2. Non-Scientific Approaches to Animal Management:
    Papers that rely on anecdotal evidence or non-empirical methods in animal management have decreased, as the journal increasingly favors data-driven and scientifically rigorous studies.
  3. Animal Products Processing and Marketing:
    Research related to the processing and marketing of animal products has become less prevalent, possibly overshadowed by more pressing concerns regarding animal health, genetics, and welfare.
