Aims

The Journal of Animal Nutrition and Management (JANM) aims to advance scientific understanding and innovation in the fields of animal nutrition, livestock management, and feed science. The journal strives to provide a global platform for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to disseminate high-quality, peer-reviewed research that addresses the challenges and opportunities in animal agriculture and sustainable livestock production.

Through open access publishing, JANM seeks to bridge the gap between science and practice, promoting the application of research findings to improve animal health, productivity, and welfare while supporting environmental sustainability and economic viability in animal production systems.

Scope

The Journal of Animal Nutrition and Management encompasses a comprehensive range of topics within animal nutrition and livestock management, reflecting the multidisciplinary nature of the field. The journal welcomes original research, reviews, and case studies, as well as short communications and perspectives. The scope includes, but is not limited to, the following areas:

Animal Nutrition

• Nutritional requirements and metabolism in different species (ruminants, monogastrics, aquaculture species, and companion animals)
• Feed formulation, evaluation, and processing techniques
• Alternative feed ingredients and sustainable feeding practices
• Nutrigenomics and the impact of nutrition on gene expression
• Digestive physiology and nutrient utilization

Feed Science and Technology

• Development and application of novel feed additives
• Feed quality assessment and control
• Mycotoxin contamination and mitigation strategies
• Fermentation technology in feed production
• Innovations in feed storage and preservation

Livestock Management

• Herd and flock health management strategies
• Reproductive management and breeding programs
• Precision livestock farming and technology integration
• Housing, welfare, and behavioral studies of livestock
• Environmental impact and mitigation in livestock systems

Sustainable Livestock Production

• Climate-smart livestock farming practices
• Carbon footprint and emissions reduction in animal agriculture
• Circular economy approaches in livestock systems
• Integration of livestock with crop production systems

Animal Health and Welfare

• Role of nutrition in disease prevention and immune function
• Probiotics, prebiotics, and gut health management
• Ethical and welfare considerations in animal production
• Stress physiology and mitigation techniques

Aquaculture Nutrition and Management

• Nutritional requirements of aquatic species
• Feed formulation for aquaculture sustainability
• Water quality management in aquaculture systems
• Disease prevention and biosecurity measures

Companion Animal Nutrition

• Nutritional strategies for pets and working animals
• Therapeutic diets and clinical nutrition for companion animals
• Behavior and welfare studies related to feeding practices

Policy and Economics

• Socioeconomic impact of livestock management practices
• Policy implications for sustainable animal agriculture
• Trade, marketing, and consumer trends in animal products

JANM invites interdisciplinary research that addresses the intersections of animal nutrition, management, and broader environmental, social, and economic issues. The journal remains dedicated to publishing innovative research that drives progress in the field and contributes to the global discourse on sustainable livestock and aquaculture practices.
