The concepts of Animal science, Food science, Feed conversion ratio, Agronomy and Dry matter are tackled in South African Journal of Animal Science. While Animal science is the focus of South African Journal of Animal Science, it also provided insights into the studies of Endocrinology and Internal medicine. Studies on Food science discussed in the journal link to the field of Fatty acid.
The study on Feed conversion ratio presented in it intersects with the topics under Weight gain. Grazing and Hay are among the concentrations of Agronomy that garnered much attention in the journal. The journal focuses on Grazing research which is adjacent to topics in Pasture.
The work on Dry matter tackled in the journal brings together disciplines like Silage and Rumen.
The most cited papers mostly deal with topics like Animal science, Feed conversion ratio, Heritability, Food science and Broiler. In addition to Animal science research, the journal articles aim to explore topics under Body weight and Agronomy. While the journal papers focused on Food science, they were also able to explore topics like Probiotic and Fatty acid.
The scientific interests tackled in the journal are Animal science, Food science, Broiler, Dry matter and Feed conversion ratio. More specifically, the research on Animal science in it is related to Live weight. Most of the Food science studies addressed also intersect with Fatty acid.
The study of Broiler encompasses disciplines such as Hatching, as well as fields such as In ovo, all of which overlap with one another. The Dry matter research presented in it explores the relationship between Hay and the closely related topic of Forage. Topics in Fermentation explored in the journal were investigated in conjunction with research in Silage and Essential oil.
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 South African Journal of Animal 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 South African Journal of Animal 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, 66.67% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 27.59% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 10.34% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 20.69% of all publications and 41.38% 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.

(2021)Exploring careers related to Animal Science and Veterinary studies often leads students to complementary fields that blend health, science, and human-animal interactions. One such pathway includes programs like kinesiology certification online, which focuses on human body movement and rehabilitation—skills valuable in animal physical therapy and wellness.
For those interested in clinical care with a faster training track, options like the fastest and easiest lpn programs provide accessible pathways into nursing roles, sometimes including veterinary nursing or animal care technician positions, where patient care is vital.
Veterans transitioning to civilian roles might find unique opportunities through specialized programs such as online speech pathology degrees for veterans. While focused on human speech disorders, the skills acquired can complement therapy methods for animals with behavioral or communication challenges.
Mental health is also a growing focus within veterinary professions. Programs like online pmhnp programs with clinical placement prepare professionals to address psychological conditions, which can be relevant when dealing with animal behavior or supporting pet owners.
