Journal of Animal Science and Technology (JAST) is a peer-reviewed, open-access international journal dedicated to the advancement of scientific inquiry and technological innovation within the animal and livestock industries. In a global landscape facing the dual pressures of rising protein demands and urgent environmental mandates, JAST serves as a high-level academic platform. The journal facilitates the dissemination of rigorous empirical research, macro-philosophical frameworks, and systemic solutions that optimize animal production, health, and welfare while minimizing ecological footprints. By bridging fundamental animal biology with applied precision technologies, JAST provides vital insights for animal scientists, veterinarians, biotechnologists, and agricultural policymakers worldwide.

Scope and Topics

JAST welcomes high-quality original research articles, systematic literature reviews, and cutting-edge conceptual papers. The journal’s scope encompasses a broad spectrum of topics within the animal sciences, including but not limited to:

  • Animal Genetics and Breeding: Quantitative and molecular genetics, genomics, bioinformatics, and the application of reproductive technologies in livestock optimization.

  • Animal Nutrition and Metabolism: Ruminant and non-ruminant nutrition, feed science and evaluation, metabolic pathways, gut microbiota studies, and sustainable alternative feed ingredients.

  • Animal Physiology, Health, and Welfare: Immunology, endocrinology, stress physiology, epidemiology of livestock diseases, veterinary pharmacology, and ethical husbandry practices.

  • Livestock Production Systems and Management: Sustainable farming models, agro-pastoral systems, waste management, circular economy integration, and climate change adaptation in animal agriculture.

  • Smart Livestock Farming and Precision Technology: Automated monitoring systems, AI and IoT applications in herd management, sensor technology, data analytics, and post-harvest meat science or dairy technology.

Publication Frequency

The Journal of Animal Science and Technology (JAST) is published semi-annually (2 issues per year), regularly released in April and October. This timeline ensures the continuous and timely distribution of vital animal science data while supporting a rigorous editorial curation process.

Peer Review Process

To maintain absolute scientific rigor and ensure the highest standards of academic excellence, JAST strictly adheres to a double-blind peer review protocol. Every submitted manuscript is initially screened by the editorial team for structural conformity, ethical compliance (including institutional animal care and use approvals), plagiarism metrics, and scope alignment. Manuscripts passing this preliminary evaluation are assigned to a minimum of two independent, international reviewers who possess specialized expertise in the specific domain. Submissions are rigorously evaluated based on theoretical originality, methodological robustness, analytical depth, and practical or ethical implications. The final editorial decision relies on the consensus and quality of these expert evaluations.

Mission Statement

The mission of the Journal of Animal Science and Technology (JAST) is to catalyze global intellectual discourse and technological transformation within the animal industry. The journal aims to synthesize foundational biological science with responsible, automated technological practices to foster sustainable, efficient, and ethical animal production frameworks. Committed to the unrestricted dissemination of knowledge through open-access publishing, JAST seeks to empower scholars, industry practitioners, and policymakers to make evidence-based decisions that advance both human nutrition security and ecological stewardship.
