《動物》吸引了來自農(nóng)業(yè)、生物醫(yī)學和環(huán)境科學各個領(lǐng)域的動物生物學和動物系統(tǒng)的最佳研究。它是英國動物科學學會(BSAS)、國家農(nóng)學研究所(INRA)和歐洲動物科學聯(lián)合會(EAAP)之間令人興奮的合作的核心要素，并代表了三種科學期刊的合并:動物科學;動物研究;繁殖、營養(yǎng)、發(fā)展。《動物》雜志在分子、細胞、器官、整個動物和生產(chǎn)系統(tǒng)的水平上發(fā)表原創(chuàng)前沿研究、“熱點”話題和與動物相關(guān)的動物水平掃描評論。主要學科領(lǐng)域包括：育種和遺傳學；營養(yǎng)；系統(tǒng)的生理和功能生物學；行為、健康和福利；農(nóng)業(yè)系統(tǒng)、環(huán)境影響和氣候變化；產(chǎn)品質(zhì)量、人類健康和福祉。特別歡迎動物模型和論文涉及這些主題之間的研究整合及其對環(huán)境和人類的影響。

Animal attracts the best research in animal biology and animal systems from across the spectrum of the agricultural, biomedical, and environmental sciences. It is the central element in an exciting collaboration between the British Society of Animal Science (BSAS), Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique (INRA) and the European Federation for Animal Science (EAAP) and represents a merging of three scientific journals: Animal Science; Animal Research; Reproduction, Nutrition, Development. animal publishes original cutting-edge research, 'hot' topics and horizon-scanning reviews on animal-related aspects of the life sciences at the molecular, cellular, organ, whole animal and production system levels. The main subject areas include: breeding and genetics; nutrition; physiology and functional biology of systems; behaviour, health and welfare; farming systems, environmental impact and climate change; product quality, human health and well-being. Animal models and papers dealing with the integration of research between these topics and their impact on the environment and people are particularly welcome.
