Animal Feed Science and Technology

An International Scientific Journal Covering Research on Animal Nutrition, Feeding and Technology

Animal Feed Science and Technology is a unique journal publishing scientific papers of international interest focusing on animal feeds and their feeding.

Papers describing research on feed for ruminants and non-ruminants, including poultry, horses, companion animals and aquatic animals, are welcome.

The journal covers the following areas:

Nutritive value of feeds (e.g., assessment, improvement)

Methods of conserving and processing feeds that affect their nutritional value

Agronomic and climatic factors influencing the nutritive value of feeds

Utilization of feeds and the improvement of such

Metabolic, production, reproduction and health responses, as well as potential environmental impacts, of diet inputs and feed technologies (e.g., feeds, feed additives, feed components, mycotoxins)

Mathematical models relating directly to animal-feed interactions

Analytical and experimental methods for feed evaluation

Environmental impacts of feed technologies in animal production

The journal does not encourage papers with emphasis on animal products, molecular biology, genetics or management, or the regulatory or legal aspects of feeds as well as animal production studies with a focus on animal nutrition that do not have a direct link to a feed or feed technology.

Manuscripts must be prepared in accordance with the journal's Guide for Authors.
