The South African Journal of Animal Science is an open access, peer-reviewed journal for
publication of original scientific articles and reviews in the field of animal science. The journal
publishes reports of research dealing with 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. Disciplines covered nutrition, genetics, physiology, and production
systems. Systematic research on animal products, behaviour, and welfare are also invited.
Rigorous testing of well-specified hypotheses is expected.
