Abstract

‘ANIMAL – An International Journal of Animal Bioscience’ is the central element in a new and exciting collaborative venture between the European Federation for Animal Science (EAAP), Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique (INRA), and British Society of Animal Science (BSAS). It merges three high-quality and successful journals (Animal Science, Animal Research and Reproduction, Nutrition, Development) into a single forward-looking publication that will reduce fragmentation in the sector, improve synergies and, we hope, act as a catalyst for integrating process-level and systems science in the animal biosciences.
