Declining or Waning
- Traditional Veterinary Practices:
Research related to conventional veterinary practices and treatments has seen a decline as the field moves towards more innovative and evidence-based approaches. - Overreliance on Antibiotics:
There has been a noticeable decrease in studies promoting antibiotic use, likely due to increasing awareness of antimicrobial resistance and the shift towards alternative therapies. - Generalized Animal Husbandry Practices:
Topics focused solely on traditional animal husbandry without integrating modern techniques or sustainability have become less prominent, as the field evolves towards more comprehensive and sustainable practices. - Clinical Case Reports:
While clinical case reports remain valuable, there has been a waning interest in publishing such reports in favor of more data-driven research and experimental studies. - Non-Integrated Approaches to Veterinary Science:
Research that does not encompass interdisciplinary or integrated approaches is becoming less common, as the field increasingly recognizes the need for comprehensive solutions to animal health challenges.
