Frontiers in Animal Science is a multidisciplinary journal that focuses on the human use of animals across multiple contexts including: food, clothing, transport, research, sport and companionship.

The journal is led by Field Chief Editor Prof Christine Janet Nicol (Royal Veterinary College, UK) and welcomes submissions in all areas of natural or social science that address the human use of animals, including those that bridge the gap between animal science and the urgent policy questions surrounding human health, environmental sustainability, and animal welfare.

Advances in approaches and technologies concerning genomics, microbiome studies, and automation are also welcome. In particular, the journal welcomes submissions which support and advance the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), notably SDG 2: zero hunger; and SDG 12: responsible consumption and production.

Frontiers in Animal Science is committed to advancing developments in the field of animal science research by communicating scientific knowledge to researchers and the public alike, to enable the scientific breakthroughs of the future.
