《動(dòng)物》吸引了來自農(nóng)業(yè)、生物醫(yī)學(xué)和環(huán)境科學(xué)各個(gè)領(lǐng)域的動(dòng)物生物學(xué)和動(dòng)物系統(tǒng)的最佳研究。它是英國(guó)動(dòng)物科學(xué)學(xué)會(huì)(BSAS)、國(guó)家農(nóng)學(xué)研究所(INRA)和歐洲動(dòng)物科學(xué)聯(lián)合會(huì)(EAAP)之間令人興奮的合作的核心要素，并代表了三種科學(xué)期刊的合并:動(dòng)物科學(xué);動(dòng)物研究;繁殖、營(yíng)養(yǎng)、發(fā)展。《動(dòng)物》雜志在分子、細(xì)胞、器官、整個(gè)動(dòng)物和生產(chǎn)系統(tǒng)的水平上發(fā)表原創(chuàng)前沿研究、“熱點(diǎn)”話題和與動(dòng)物相關(guān)的動(dòng)物水平掃描評(píng)論。主要學(xué)科領(lǐng)域包括：育種和遺傳學(xué)；營(yíng)養(yǎng)；系統(tǒng)的生理和功能生物學(xué)；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(dòng)物模型和論文涉及這些主題之間的研究整合及其對(duì)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.
