Italian Journal of Animal Science

Scope

The Italian Journal of Animal Science is an international peer-reviewed open access journal publishing original research, reviews and short communications. The journal serves as essential reading for animal scientists, technicians and all those who research animal production. The journal encourages submissions of international relevance on the following subjects: • Animal derived food quality and safety • Animal genetics and breeding • Aquaculture, poultry, companion and wild game animals • Livestock systems, management and environment • Non-ruminant or ruminant nutrition and feeding • Production physiology and functional biology of farmed, companions and wild game animals. • Animal behavior • Animal welfare • In vitro studies that have an application to farmed livestock Manuscripts must address topics based on research at molecular, cellular, organ, whole animal and production system levels. Manuscripts discussing milk or meat analysis and compositions must show a direct link to either livestock production system, product quality, animal feeding/nutrition, animal genetics or breeding. Manuscripts describing laboratory animal models will be considered where the study highlights a potential benefit to farmed livestock.
