Summary, etc |
Animal Bioscience (AB) aims to publish original and cutting-edge research results and reviews on animal-related aspects of the life sciences. Emphasis will be placed on studies involving farm animals such as cattle, buffaloes, sheep, goats, pigs, horses, and poultry.<br/><br/>Animal Bioscience will encompass all areas of animal production and fundamental aspects of animal sciences: breeding and genetics, reproduction and physiology, nutrition, dairy and meat science, biotechnology, behavior, health, welfare and livestock farming systems.<br/><br/>Animal Bioscience is subdivided into 10 sections.<br/><br/>Animal Breeding and Genetics: quantitative and molecular genetics, genomics, genetic evaluation, evolution of domestic animals, and bioinformatics<br/>Animal Reproduction and Physiology: physiology of reproduction, development, growth, lactation, and exercise; and gamete biology<br/>Ruminant Nutrition and Forage Utilization: rumen microbiology and function, ruminant nutrition, physiology and metabolism, and forage utilization<br/>Swine Nutrition and Feed Technology: swine nutrition and physiology; evaluation of feeds, feed additives, and feed processing technology<br/>Poultry and Laboratory Animal Nutrition: nutrition and physiology of poultry and other non-ruminant animals<br/>Animal Products: dairy and meat science, muscle biology, food safety, food security, and functional foods<br/>Animal Biotechnology: molecular nutrition, transgenic animals, identification and manipulation of genes<br/>Animal Health: immune modulation, nutritional immunology, infection and immunity, stress responses, vaccines and therapeutics<br/>Animal Behavior and Welfare: social and sexual behavior and animal welfare<br/>Environment and Management: livestock waste management, livestock and environment, and livestock farming system |
