The Journal of Animal Science JAS is the premier journal for animal science and serves as the leading source of new knowledge and perspective in this area. JAS publishes more than 400 fully reviewed research articles, invited reviews, technical notes, and letters to the editor each year. According to the Institute for Scientific Information ISI, JAS consistently ranks as one of the top journals among 47 titles in the category of Agriculture, Dairy, and Animal Sciences in terms of impact factor, immediacy index, and cited halflife and is in the top 1 of STM publishing 50,000+ titles by total ISI citations. The mission of the American Society of Animal Science ASAS is to foster communication and collaboration among individuals and organizations associated with animal science research, education, industry, or administration. “To discover, disseminate and apply knowledge for sustainable use of animals for food and other human needs.” The Journal of Animal Science, which is published monthly by ASAS, accepts manuscripts presenting information for publication with this mission in mind. Articles published in JAS encompass a broad range of research topics in animal production and fundamental aspects of genetics, nutrition, physiology, and preparation and utilization of animal products. Articles typically report research with beef cattle, companion animals, goats, horses, pigs, and sheep; however, studies involving other farm animals, aquatic and wildlife species, and laboratory animal species that address fundamental questions related to livestock and companion animal biology will be considered for publication. Manuscripts that report research on production issues in animals other than those constituting the main focus of the journal should be submitted to other journals.
