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.

《動物》吸引了來自農業、生物醫學和環境科學各個領域的動物生物學和動物系統的最佳研究。它是英國動物科學學會(BSAS)、國家農學研究所(INRA)和歐洲動物科學聯合會(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、發展。《動物》雜志在分子、細胞、器官、整個動物和生產系統的水平上發表原創前沿研究、“熱點”話題和與動物相關的動物水平掃描評論。主要學科領域包括：育種和遺傳學；營養；系統的生理和功能生物學；行為、健康和福利；農業系統、環境影響和氣候變化；產品質量、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境和人類的影響。
