Animal

Animal aims to publish original, cutting-edge research and horizon-scanning reviews on animal-related aspects of the life sciences at the molecular, cellular, organ, whole animal and production system levels. Emphasis will be placed on farmed and other managed animals. Papers will be considered in aspects of both strategic and applied science in the areas of Breeding and Genetics, Nutrition, Physiology and Functional Biology of Systems, Behaviour, Health and Welfare, Livestock Farming Systems and Product Quality. In addition, the use of laboratory animal models for the benefit of farmed livestock and studies using farm animals with the aim of improving human health are within the scope. The journal wishes to emphasise the integrative nature of biological systems. Thus, papers dealing with the translation of basic and strategic science into whole animal and system impacts on Productivity, Product Quality, Food Security, the Environment, Climate Change and Humans (health, nutrition and well being) will be particularly welcome.

Animal will publish original cutting-edge research, ‘hot’ topics and horizon-scanning reviews on animal-related aspects of the life sciences at the molecular, cellular, organ, whole animal and production system levels. The full editorial team can be found here

The main subject areas include:

	Breeding and Genetics.
	Nutrition.
	Physiology and Functional Biology of Systems.
	Behaviour, Health and Welfare.
	Livestock Farming Systems and Environmental Impact.
	Product Quality, Human Health and Well-being.

Animal will, in addition, consider papers on the use of laboratory animal models for the benefit of farmed livestock and studies using farm animals with the aim of improving human health

Animal wishes to emphasise the integrative nature of biological systems. Thus, papers dealing with the translation of basic and strategic science into whole animal and system impacts on Productivity, Product Quality, Food Security, the Environment, Climate Change and Humans (health, nutrition and well being) will be particularly welcome.  The detailed scope of the journal can be found here.

Animal was launched in February 2007 and is published monthly by Cambridge University Press (a not-for-profit organisation).
