Aims and Scope

Aims

The Journal of Poultry and Livestock Diseases (JPLD) aims to serve as a premier platform for the publication of high-quality, peer-reviewed research in the field of veterinary science, focusing on the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and management of diseases affecting poultry and livestock. Our mission is to foster the dissemination of groundbreaking scientific advancements and clinical practices that contribute to the improvement of animal health, welfare, and productivity worldwide. Through open access, we aim to ensure that valuable research reaches a global audience, supporting both the academic community and professionals in the veterinary and agricultural industries.

We are committed to advancing knowledge by publishing studies that explore innovative solutions to challenges in animal disease management and promote sustainable practices in poultry and livestock farming.

Scope

The Journal of Poultry and Livestock Diseases covers a broad range of topics within the field of veterinary science, including, but not limited to:

  • Poultry Diseases: Research on the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and control of diseases affecting poultry, including viral, bacterial, fungal, and parasitic infections.
  • Livestock Diseases: Studies on diseases affecting livestock, such as cattle, sheep, goats, and swine, with a focus on emerging infectious diseases and zoonotic infections.
  • Veterinary Diagnostics: Development and evaluation of diagnostic techniques and technologies for the detection of diseases in poultry and livestock.
  • Disease Prevention and Control: Strategies for preventing and controlling the spread of diseases, including vaccination, biosecurity measures, and antimicrobial resistance management.
  • Epidemiology: Research on the epidemiology and risk factors of poultry and livestock diseases, including studies on disease outbreaks, surveillance, and trends.
  • Animal Welfare and Health Management: Research that explores best practices for the health and welfare of poultry and livestock, with a focus on sustainable and ethical farming practices.
  • Zoonotic Diseases: Studies on diseases that can be transmitted between animals and humans, including foodborne pathogens and emerging infectious diseases.
  • Public Health: The impact of animal diseases on public health, including the role of veterinary interventions in safeguarding human populations.
  • Veterinary Public Policy: Research related to the policies and regulations governing animal health, disease control, and public safety.
  • One Health Approach: Interdisciplinary research that integrates human, animal, and environmental health to tackle complex disease challenges.

The journal encourages contributions from a wide range of disciplines, including veterinary science, epidemiology, microbiology, immunology, pharmacology, environmental health, and agricultural science. We aim to publish research that has a practical application in improving animal health management, enhancing public health, and contributing to the sustainable future of global animal agriculture.
