The journal explores disciplines such as Animal science, Agronomy, Environmental management system, Soil indicators and Grazing. The journal holds forums on Animal science that merges themes from other disciplines such as Feed conversion ratio, Biotechnology and Rumen. It dives deep in exploring the relationship between the study of Biotechnology and Heritability.
It concentrated on Agronomy research, specifically Irrigation, Pasture, Drought tolerance, Forage and Hay. The Irrigation study featured in Animal Production Science draws parallels with the field of Water quality. The study on Pasture presented in Animal Production Science intersects with the topics under Perennial plant.
Topics in Environmental management system were tackled in line with various other fields like Integrated pest management, Agriculture, Lactation, Beef cattle and Flock. Agriculture research featured in the journal incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Agroforestry, Livestock and Agricultural economics. The field of Ecology is the anchor for the Soil indicators studies presented in Animal Production Science.
The journal publications cover a variety of subjects, including Environmental management system, Agronomy, Animal science, Biotechnology and Agriculture. While Environmental management system is the focus of the most cited publications, it also provides insights into the studies of Dry matter, Integrated pest management, Rumen, Flock and Feed conversion ratio. The featured Animal science studies in the journal articles mainly concentrate on Lactation but also cover areas of interest in Domestic sheep reproduction.
The primary areas of discussion in the journal are Animal science, Grazing, Feed conversion ratio, Pasture and Forage. It focuses on Animal science research which is adjacent to topics in Rumen. It facilitates discussions on Grazing that incorporate concepts from other fields like Hectare and Crop.
While it focused on Feed conversion ratio, it was also able to explore topics like Food science and Broiler. Research on Forage presented in it concerns the broader topic of Agronomy. Issues in Dry matter were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Hay and Lactation.
A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.
The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.
The top authors publishing in Animal Production Science (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.
Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered
The top affiliations publishing in Animal Production Science (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.
The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.
The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.
During the most recent 2021 edition, 13.51% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 45.83% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 10.94% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 9.90% of all publications and 33.33% were from other institutions.
A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.
The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.
The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.
Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).
The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

(2020)Exploring Animal Science and Veterinary fields often leads students to consider complementary or related disciplines that enhance their expertise and career prospects. For instance, an online bachelor's in kinesiology can provide essential knowledge about animal and human movement, which is valuable in rehabilitation and therapeutic settings.
Those interested in hands-on caregiving roles might explore programs such as the easiest LPN programs to get into, offering a quicker pathway to practical nursing, often relevant in animal care clinics and farms.
Additionally, veterans transitioning from military service might find an online speech pathology degree for military veterans an accessible and supportive option, opening career opportunities in communication disorders that sometimes cross over with animal behavior studies.
For those interested in mental health aspects within veterinary or animal-related professions, programs such as the best online PMHNP programs provide specialized training in psychiatric mental health, which can intersect with stress and behavioral issues in both humans and animals.
Combining these educational pathways offers a diverse range of skills, enhancing career versatility in animal science-related fields and beyond.
