![]() ![]() Ear-notching and tail-clipping for identification.Genetic manipulation, e.g., addition or “knocking out” of one or more genes.Exposure to drugs, chemicals or infectious disease at levels that cause illness, pain and distress, or death.Forced chemical exposure in toxicity testing, which can include oral force-feeding, forced inhalation, skin or injection into the abdomen, muscle, etc. ![]() Here is a selection of common animal procedures: Most animals are killed at the end of an experiment, but some may be re-used in subsequent experiments. Often the procedures can cause a great deal of suffering. All procedures, even those classified as “mild,” have the potential to cause the animals physical as well as psychological distress and suffering. Moreover, authors may contribute short reviews (by invitation from the Editor) and letters to the editor.The term “animal testing” refers to procedures performed on living animals for purposes of research into basic biology and diseases, assessing the effectiveness of new medicinal products, and testing the human health and/or environmental safety of consumer and industry products such as cosmetics, household cleaners, food additives, pharmaceuticals and industrial/agro-chemicals. Reports directed to and based on research on a comprehensive range of subjects as well as experimental papers may be submitted. Emphasis is given to papers that heighten capabilities for sustainable livestock production with environmental and animal welfare focus. The Editor actively encourages scientists and professionals dealing with research in animal management for production, veterinary care in research or conservation programs, basic scientists engaged in animal physiology, endocrinology and systems biologists. JASR publishes articles of original, interdisciplinary, and applied research. Most likely veterinarians, agronomists, and various scientists devoted to animal fields in the broadest sense will engage as authors of JASR articles. The journal pursues contributions which prioritise distinction, originality, reduction to practice, accuracy, focus and appeal to the readership. Presumably, the readership of JASR will be engaged in the management, use, and protection of animals in the wild, on the farm or as pets. Such papers will be interesting to an international audience of professionals in academia, breeders, veterinarians, and biologists. JASR is dedicated to publishing material of research in animal science, such as Biology of Reproduction, Gametes and Embryo Conservation, Immunology, Disease and Disease Prevention and Treatment, Animal Welfare, well-being and stress, Breeding, Genetics, and Genomics and Sustainability of animal production. The journal will focus on studies that involve carefully selected reports that provide a link between basic research and application in animal management. The editors support the dissemination of original solutions to stimulating questions in animal science and animal management. Moreover, JASR wishes to contribute to bridging the gap between scientific research and the application of sound science in the management and conservation of domestic mammals, non-domestic mammals, avian, reptiles, and fish and aquatic species as well as other wild species. That implies learning Biology, Reproduction, Physiology, Nutrition (feeds, feeding), Pathology (including disease emergence and zoonoses) and behaviour. Journal of Animal Science and Research (JASR) recognises that to properly study and manage the animals that are useful to humans and those in the wild we need to understand the science behind them. ![]()
