Animal Bioscience (AB) is a peer-reviewed international journal published by the Asian-Australasian Association of Animal Production Societies (AAAP) since 1988. It is a continued publication of Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences(AJAS). The current journal title was adopted in 2021.
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.
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.
Animal Bioscience is subdivided into 10 sections.
- Animal Breeding and Genetics: quantitative and molecular genetics; genomics; genetic evaluation; bioinformatics; epigenetics; functional genomics
- Animal Reproduction and Physiology: reproductive physiology; lactation, growth and developmental biology; endocrinology; stem cell biology; assisted reproductive technology
- Ruminant Nutrition and Forage Utilization: nutrition and metabolism; physiology; lactation and mammary biology; rumen function and microbiology; forage utilization
- Swine Nutrition and Feed Technology: nutrition and metabolism; physiology; gut microbiology; feed ingredients and additives; feed processing technology
- Poultry Nutrition: nutrition and metabolism; physiology; gut microbiology; feeds and feed additives; facility and environment
- Animal Biotechnology: molecular nutrition; transgenic animals; genetic engineering; gene identification and manipulation; functional omics
- Animal Health: immune modulation; nutritional immunology; stress alleviation; infection and immunity; protective immunity and vaccine
- Animal Products: dairy, meat and egg science and technology; muscle biology; food safety; functional foods; meat analogue
- Animal Behavior and Welfare: social behavior; sexual behavior; ethology; animal welfare
- Environment and Management: waste management; livestock and environment; farming system
