Animal Production Science is an international, interdisciplinary journal with a focus on improving livestock and food production, and on the social and economic issues that influence livestock production systems. Papers span traditional animal science to genomics and precision agriculture and examine the societal role of animal agriculture in the provision of a healthy human diet and a sustainable environment. The journal is predominantly concerned with domesticated livestock (beef cattle, dairy cows, sheep, pigs, goats and poultry); however, contributions on horses, deer, and fish will be considered where relevant.
