Journal / South African Journal of Animal Science / About the Journal

The South African Journal of Animal Science is an open access, peer-reviewed journal for the publication of original scientific articles and reviews in the field of animal science. The journal publishes reports of research dealing with the production of farmed animal species (cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, horses, poultry, and ostriches), as well as pertinent aspects of research on aquatic and wildlife species. Appropriate research on companion animals such as dogs and cats is also published. Disciplines covered include nutrition, genetics, physiology, and production systems. Systematic research on animal products, behaviour, and welfare is also invited.
Rigorous testing of well-specified hypotheses is expected. In all cases, submissions should represent original contributions to current scientific knowledge of the principles, and application of principles, governing the functioning of animals and their relationship to the social or physical environment. Details of requirements for different categories of manuscripts and of the peer-review process are given below. Prospective authors should adhere strictly to the guidelines detailed in the instructions to authors.
