Scope

• The journal covers basic and applied research in animal physiology, the physiology of nutrition, animal feeding, feed technology, food preservation, breeding and genetics.该刊覆盖动物生理学，营养生理学，动物饲养，饲料工艺，食品保藏，育种与遗传学的基础与应用研究。
• Original papers fill most of each issue, and reviews or the occasional short communication are accepted on the same subjects.原创论文占据每期的主要篇幅，综述与偶尔刊出的短篇通讯也围绕同样的主题。
• A review has to range beyond one laboratory, because the editors refuse summaries built around a single team or a single project.综述必须超出一个实验室的范围，编辑部不接受围绕单一团队或单一项目写成的总结。
• Molecular and cell biology, the growing field of genetics, and the two-way traffic between husbandry and the environment all belong to the remit.分子与细胞生物学，成长中的遗传学，以及饲养与环境之间的双向影响，都写在办刊范围之内。
• Every manuscript has to deliver new facts or confirmatory data, which puts careful replication on the same footing as novelty.每篇稿件都须提供新的事实或确证性数据，严谨的重复研究因此与新颖性处于同等地位。
• Poultry, pigs, cattle and sheep dominate recent contents, and that species mix follows the journal's focus on farm animals.近几期的内容以家禽，猪，牛和羊为主，这种畜种分布与该刊聚焦农用动物的取向一致。
• Feed additives draw steady attention, from phytogenic preparations and tannin sources to phytase and other feed enzymes.饲料添加剂持续受到关注，从植物源制剂与单宁原料到植酸酶和其他饲料酶制剂都有涉及。
• Rumen function recurs throughout the archive, including in vitro fermentation work on fatty acids and on plant by-products.瘤胃功能在过刊中反复出现，涉及脂肪酸与植物副产物的体外发酵研究也在其中。
• Novel protein sources appear regularly, among them black soldier fly larvae meal, single-cell protein from fermentation and duckweed.新型蛋白源时常露面，黑水虻幼虫粉，发酵法单细胞蛋白与浮萍都曾作为对象。
• Carcass and meat quality, food preservation and animal health complete the applied side of a deliberately wide scope.胴体与肉质，食品保藏以及动物健康，补足了这一刻意放宽的应用面向。
• Meta-analyses are welcome, and a recent example pooled trials of fermented concentrate feeds fed to growing lambs.荟萃分析同样受欢迎，近期一例就把发酵精料饲喂生长羔羊的试验做了合并。
• Work on vertebrates needs approval from an animal ethics committee, cited with the committee name, a reference number and the date.以脊椎动物为对象的研究须获动物伦理委员会批准，并在文中注明委员会名称，批准编号与日期。
• Full-length articles may not exceed 6000 words including tables, while abstracts stop at 250 words and keywords run from three to six.全文含表格不得超过 6000 词，摘要上限为 250 词，关键词则为 3 到 6 个。
