Scope & Guideline
Elevating veterinary science with impactful studies.
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Veterinary Pathology and Diagnostics:
The journal emphasizes the importance of pathology in diagnosing diseases affecting various animal species. This includes histopathological, immunohistochemical, and molecular techniques to identify infectious agents and pathological conditions. - Animal Nutrition and Feed Technology:
Research in this area focuses on optimizing animal diets and evaluating the impact of various feed additives, natural supplements, and nutritional strategies on growth performance, health, and production in livestock and companion animals. - Microbial Pathogenesis and Antimicrobial Resistance:
A significant focus is on the study of microbial infections in animals, the characterization of pathogens, and the resistance patterns to antibiotics. This includes surveillance of zoonotic diseases and antimicrobial resistance in various animal populations. - Reproductive Health and Veterinary Obstetrics:
The journal covers reproductive physiology, management practices, and interventions to enhance fertility and reproductive outcomes in livestock and companion animals. - Clinical Veterinary Medicine and Surgery:
Research on clinical practices, surgical techniques, and case reports that contribute to the improvement of veterinary care and treatment protocols for various animal species. - Wildlife and Environmental Veterinary Medicine:
The journal also explores health issues affecting wildlife and the impact of environmental factors on animal health, thus promoting a One Health approach.
Trending and Emerging
- Molecular and Genetic Research:
There is an increasing trend in studies utilizing molecular techniques and genetic analysis to understand disease mechanisms, improve livestock breeding, and enhance disease resistance. - Natural and Alternative Therapies:
Research on the use of natural products, such as herbal supplements and probiotics, as alternatives to conventional pharmaceuticals is gaining popularity, reflecting a broader interest in holistic veterinary practices. - One Health Approach:
Studies that integrate human, animal, and environmental health are becoming more prevalent, highlighting the interconnectedness of these domains and the need for collaborative research efforts. - Veterinary Public Health and Food Safety:
There is a growing emphasis on research addressing food safety, the impact of veterinary practices on public health, and the prevention of zoonotic diseases through improved animal management. - Technology in Veterinary Medicine:
The incorporation of technology, such as telemedicine, artificial intelligence, and advanced diagnostic tools, is emerging as a significant focus area, reflecting the industry's adaptation to modern challenges.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Animal Husbandry Practices:
Research focusing on conventional farming practices and livestock management techniques is becoming less common as new methodologies and technologies gain traction in the industry. - Zoonotic Diseases from Domestic Animals:
Although still relevant, the frequency of studies exclusively focusing on zoonotic diseases transmitted from domestic animals to humans has decreased, possibly due to a broader focus on integrated One Health approaches. - Basic Veterinary Pharmacology:
There appears to be a waning interest in basic pharmacological studies that do not incorporate novel therapeutic approaches or address modern challenges in veterinary medicine. - Species-Specific Case Reports:
While case reports are valuable, there has been a noticeable decline in the publication of case studies focused solely on single species without broader implications or comparative analyses.
